Commercial Description:
Bottle conditioned. Alsos available on keg.
Meantime are Britain's only brewers of authentic India Pale Ale. Small batch production allows us to apply the attention to detail and care we require to produce an authentic IPA especially for you. Pound upon pound of Fuggles & Goldings hops are needed to enable us to achieve the dry hopping rates necessary to recreate this great beer style. Enjoy with hot foods and spicy friends, or vice versa.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy amber with a thick and frothy off white head. Aroma was hops and citrus, oranges and flowers. Taste was bitter and hoppy with an unpleasant aftertaste. It was a bit too carbonated.

750 ml. bottle, a nice smooth IPA that is much more subdued than a typical US IPA, very nice hop taste with good finiish

This was a very interesting IPA. Flavors were apparent but slightly underbalanced for an IPA. The hoppiness was there, but not at the level it should be for a strong IPA. This was smooth and very good, but not excellent.

Poured into a nonic. Hazy gamboge color with a beige head of just over an inch. No lacing but above-average retention. Nose isn’t very strong but I get an odd note that strikes me as very similar to bay laurel. Obviously a hop-induced aroma but not one I’ve ever inhaled before. Flavor starts out with the same note, but it’s easier to taste the nuances than to smell them. It’s quite lemony with some pepperiness that lingers as the hops fade to toffee malt. The balance here is typically British. Low bitterness, lots of earthiness. Mouthfeel is smooth and soft, booze is unapparent, body is a shade under medium thickness.

750mL Bottle. Cheesy hop aroma, mingled with light oxidation. Aged alcohol character. Hazed gold pour. Rim in white. Flavor develops in a really grassy earth. Pithy. Planty. Oxidization and dust. Bits of wood float around. Body is as expected, nothing out of the ordinary. Probably to style considering the massive use of Fuggles. Thanks wickedpete for bringing this.

Heavy malt aroma while light on hoppiness. Color is a cloudy pale orange. The flavor is a pleasant honey maltiness with a persistent bitterness from the front to the finish. Nice to try once.
