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.

Draught: Pours a cloudy golden yellow, filmy head and somewhat transparent. Lemon zest and fresh cut wood aroma. Some note of alcohol. Bitter pine and orange peal flavor, interesting hop finish. Palate is a little bitter on the tip of the tongue, but smooth from start to finish. Fantastic IPA.

Bottle. Golden beer with a strong foamy head. The aroma is well hopped and dry, and the flavour is very bitter and well hopped. Overall a nice deeply hopped and dry beer.

From bottle : Pours cloudy orange, with a good amount of carbonation and a finger and a half of white foamy head. After a few minutes the head starts to fade, slowly. Very strong aroma of hops, citrus hops, and a hint of cider it would seem, with some spices as well. When i first take a sip, there is alot of carbonation in here. Taste is very ipa, lots of hops, and a fair amount of bitterness on the end, and also leaves a bitter hop aftertaste. Thicker in body then most other ipa’s i think, with a smooth creamy feel in the mouth, tell the end, when it even feels a bit bitter. Not at all a bad example of a ipa, just not my favorite one.

Bottle (Gusher): Pours a hazy orange color with huge bubbly head. The nose is woody with a spicy orange and grassy noble hop forward character. The flavor is strong with carbonation with a light caramel and malt note. Subtle hop flavors, more about the twang than the thang. Not worth the price IMO.

75 cl. bottle. Poured a cloudy amber with a substantial bumpy off-white head. Floral, lemony and grassy hop aromas, almost like a potpourri. Flavor marked by leafy and citrusy hops, light caramel malts and with a pungent earthy and herbal character on the finish. Way more hop character then I was expecting, which was pretty cool.

Soft, fruity nose, very aromatic with confectionary characters. Soft flavours to taste, fruity early before a rapaid sharpening-up from a bitter and hoppy finish. Some thickening on the finish with aniseed, possibly from the ABV. Amazingly well packaged.

Pours a fully clouded orange with a very minimal head. Nose is perfumed and also with hop character. Flavor is very smooth and consistent with hops. There is a definite salty tone. Feel has a lot of bubble and a good liquid feel. Overall this is a good smooth IPA. Nothing showy at all, but more along a traditional line I would say. Nice to try.

750ml bottle-pours a foamy light tan head and hazy gold color. Aroma is yeast, medium malt-caramel, secondary spicy/earthy hops. Taste is yeast medium malt-caramel, spicy/earthy/citrus-lemon light hops. Good English IPA. Medium body. OK carbonation.
