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.

Keg British... Keg head; orange coloured beer. Specific nose of hops, I’d even wager USA hops, even if they’re not, and "wet dog" aroma. Grapefruit and other bitterness(es). The liveliness of a cask has been replaced by little fizzyness, but nothing exaggerated. Actually, this is better than some of the poorer cask IPA’s. Light to medium bodied. It’s especially the finish & aftertaste that betray the kegging: not much going on anymore, if anything. Quite OK for a British IPA. Couldn’t vie for one moment with the better USA ones, though.

Orange-amber, slightly hazy, with a large white head. Pronounced citric hop aroma. Full malt and spicy hop taste. Medium to strong bitterness. First rate ale.

Pours amber, very hazy, with thin head. Big aroma with lots of malt and some hops that add an aroma of pine. Flavor is dry, malty, with a great bitter finish leaves the mouth wanting more. Nice chewy body; yet somehow still refreshing. Complex. Very well balanced. Solid IPA.

Bottle. It has what it takes 2 be a good IPA, hay, floral, golden, clear, a minimal head, medium sweetness, medium bitterness, medium body, average carbonation, bitter, no floral aroma and that is a bit sad for the beer.

Copper/brownish with a offwhite head that last thoughout beer. Citrus, hay, malt, hops and slight spice. Very decent brew.

Hazy pale brown-yellow beer. Acidic aroma with notes of malt, citrus and alcohol. Gooseberry flavour with dry growing bitterness.

Light wispy head with loads of floaters. Light carbonation. Nice hoppy aroma with lemon, citrus and a bit of flowers. Medium amber orange in color. Crisp and clean palate. Light malts with more hops. Light to medium bodied. Clean hoppy finish with a light alcohol presence. Pretty decent but nothing special.

Pours bright amber into a shaker. Fluffy off-white micro head subsides in chunks. Fruity apple and pear aromas. Sharp and well-balanced with a lasting bitter hop finish.
