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 I picked up at BevMo. Nice rich orange color with HUGE head...nice lacing as well. Solid hops and floral notes with grassy aromas as well. Body is lighter than I would have thought.Good IPA from other side of the pond.

This beer pours a cloudy orange with a thin white head leaving a little lacing down the sides. The aroma is very very light grassy and hoppy and not much else! Realt this beer has a good flavor, but not a great one. There are much better ipa’s out there but I would for sure have this one again. Cheers!

Pours hazy orange-amber with a huge white head. Herbal, grassy aroma with light brine notes. Sweet flavor until the end, which is mostly hop bitterness. The hop flavors are the same as those found in the aroma, only with a citrus-sweet tang. Great English IPA.

Poured a clear amber color with a medium sized off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, a bit of grass, some skunk, and light toffee as well. Taste of caramel, some skunk, herb, bitter, grassy, noble hops, with light bread, and low bitterness in the finish.

Thanks to TomGibson for this one. Pour a translucent golden amber with a medium off white bubbly head. Aroma was kind of spicy, fruity, sweet malts and some caramel. Flavor was earthy, a bit floral, some citrus and caramel malt.

Slightly cloudy bright gold with a fine medium dense light tan head. Fresh, fruity and spicy hops with floral overtones, earth undertones, and a slight malt character with a hint of malt sweetness. Very finessed, multi-layered flavor profile with subtle, refined pale malt notes, alcohol sweetness, and hops spice. Quite dry with just a suggestion of fruit. Highly structured body with each element thoroughly integrated into the whole making for a completely balanced experience with each component playing in unison.

Pours orange with a soapy looking white head. Aroma is citrus rinds: orange and grapefruit, and miller lite. Flavor is floral hops with a dry bitter finish. Body is a little light. Very unimpressive. Wouldn’t buy again.

Light and sour aroma. Hazy apricot gold color, and apricot-grapefruit flavor. A mouthful, tastes almost viscous. [compared next to a Mad River Steelhead Double IPA]
