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.

An orange appearance with a faint pine and citrus aroma. A very smooth and easy drinking beer but not much complexity. The flavor is somewhat malty and less bitter than most IPAs Ive had. Thats all I got today.

Orange dark pour with beautiful white lace creamy head. Aroma is mild and more earthy than an American IPA. The flavor is earthy hops with a nice streak of malt backbone. Different but nice.

750ml: Smelled Hoppy and fruity, with hints of toffee malt and also a little corriander. Poured amber color. Clear, but full of floating particles. Creamy, off-white head lasted a while. Good lacing. Flavor is medium sweet and lightly bitter. Malty, with notes of corriander, East Kent Goldings, and caramel. Medium body. Soft carbonation. Long sweet piney finish. Overall, a good English-style IPA, but not very bitter.

[keg at West Brewing Company] Aroma is extremely hoppy grapefruit, citric, pine, orange peel. Full bodied, but I found the carbonation a touch on the aggressive, artificial side, not a big complaint though. Finish is dry and bitter.

I was actually quite impressed with this and beings I am not usually a fan of British style IPAs, this has a great floral fragrant hop aroma, flavor is quite bitter with a hop level that is demanding on the palate, could use more of a malt characer, lightly biscuity, with some sweet honey notes but tends to be overly bittersweet at times.

Draught at West, by looking at other ratings draught is quite rare. Aroma is uber hoppy, citrus, grassy lightl peppery also. Taste is an explosion of hops. similar to the taste but very dry and bittering, alcohol is present if you serch for long enough but is hiden well by the hops. Long long finish.

Great amber/orange colour with quite a muddy texture. Slight foamy head that stays. Aroma is strawberries and hops, quite wonderful. Taste is full at first, then descent to a hoppy bitterness that is no where near sour. Well rounded and fresh. Important to serve at at least 8 degrees C.

Pours out a cloudy orange. Smell’s almost like a barley wine with hints of prunes and a little bit of hop. Tastes more like a cheap barley wine at first , then the citrus and hops kick in with a sweet bitterness at the end. ok IPA but one that I would not drink again.
