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.

Pours a fully clouded orange with a very minimal head. Nose is perfumed and also with hop character. Flavor is very smooth and consistent with hops. There is a definite salty tone. Feel has a lot of bubble and a good liquid feel. Overall this is a good smooth IPA. Nothing showy at all, but more along a traditional line I would say

Location: 750 ml bottle from Gilly’s, 6/16/09

Aroma: A nice floral hop aroma, a bit of caramel in there as well, and some light fruit
Appearance: Clear orange color, light red hue to it, decent amount of white head, and some pretty hefty lacing as well
Flavor: A nice hoppy flavor
Palate: Sticky and dry beer, good mouthfeel, pretty full body as well
Overall Impression: I thought this one was pretty good, a nice enjoyable beer, not too much else to add here...

bottle (asheft) - hazy orange beer with a white head. Aroma of flowers. Flavour has sweet maltiness, hops and a pleasant bitterness.

Bottle. Golden coloring. 1 1/2" head. Hazy, cloudy, yeasty, wheaty, grainy, any more similar adjectives to add? Dry. Not bitter. I like it in spots but generally speaking am not an admirer here. Eh.

Bottled. Hazy redbrown color, short head. Soft fruity nose. Bit fruity taste. Typical english IPA. Decently balanced, but it lacks explicit hoppy notes for me.

Bottled. Aroma has butter, hops, citron. Hazy, orange coloured beer with an off-white head. The taste is a bit hopbitter, has some sweetness. Some carbonation. Not bad, but boring.

Bottle Clear to hazy, amber body. White, creamy head. Spare lace. Complex aroma of orange, pine, citrus, lemon, flowers, ... Very well balanced, great aroma. Moderately (hoppy) bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Nice, balance of the flavour is also quite nice, but not as good as the aroma.

[bottle] Aroma = potent floral hops that are not really citrusy with plenty of spicy melanoidins and caramel. Appearance = almost clear orange-amber with a nearly white cover that drops to a ring and wisps. Blast of British hops that is even a bit salty in front of lemony caramel that chock full of spicy melanoidins. The bitterness is a bit strong, but the beer’s bigness balances it. Slightly bitter finish, moderate carbonation, medium body.
