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.

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.

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.

A nice pop as I pull the champagne cork, lovely smell of hops. Pours a cloudy amber with a rather large head. A splendid beer, full of fresh citus fruit, lime with a hint of apricot. Soft and smooth. The label says is has some wheat malt, which explains the head. Fuggles and Goldings hops give more fruitiness than bitterness, but it is bitter enough to give a refreshing twist in the tail. A little warming is the only sign of the alcohol. I like the "unfiltered and not primed with new yeast" ideology, too! My only objection iws the weight of the bottle, this is a bit much to drag around!
