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.

Bright golden orange pour, tight bubbly white head. Light citrus and honey in the aroma with spicy bitter hops. Flavor of sweet malt and bitter hops, like grapefruit peel. Balanced, medium mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Finishes bitter with some malty sweetness.

Meantime IPA is a great beer. The aroma is sweet and full of sweet hops and malts. The flavor is very sweet with citrus and some corriander / orange background. This is a very nice drinking ale.

hazy orange, respectable off-white head, no lace. nose of caramel with floral notes and the slightest hint of hops. flavor is sweet malt, creamy caramel, tart citric notes, trace of well-hidden alcohol. medium bodied, lingering bitter finish. although it’s got a nice bitter finish, the sweet and caramel were at bit too strong for me. not a terrible beer, just not a favorite. single bottle from binny’s o.p.

Pours a golden copper color with decent head. The aroma is slightly grassy & in a weird way you can feel the carbonation with your nose. The taste is slightly grassy & slight citrus. The mouthfeel is very spritzy & feels like Alka Seltzer on your tongue- I guess this is do to the bottle conditioning. Overall a smooth beer that seems like it needs to be aged to be something better.

Slightly hazy orange and a thin white head on the pour. Faint citrus aroma. Sure this is authentic maybe, but damn these hops are weak. I guess I am just used to the more heavily hopped American IPA’s, not to say that anything is greatly flawed with the beer, it just lacks punch. Very good balance between the hops and caramel malt. Finishes with some roast.

750ml Bottle (Drink, Tallinn) - Amber in colour. Fairly hoppy aroma with spicy malt featuring along with notes of grapefruit and pepper. Well balanced hoppy and malty taste with grapefruit, spicy malt and hints of tea. Fairly enjoyable.

Bottle sample at the Draft Magazine PBS Beer Festival. Pours a hazy amber with a thin beige head. The nose is faint citrus and malt. The taste is caramel, sweet citrus and light pine n the finish. Medium mouthfeel. Decent English IPA.
