Meantime India Pale Ale

Brewed by Meantime
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
London, England

750ml :Corked. Maybe not a’ hop-head’s’ beer,but still a very good ale for people who can dig English hops: They give you a long winded blurb on the bottle about the history of IPA , and how legit this is to stuff exported to troopers. Its the best interpretation ive had of an old skool IPA from a UK beer.I don’t like when limp 4% bitters call themselves IPA for street creed. A bunch of floral , spicy hops & pretty dry.I got malty caramel in there.And I also got butterscotch in the finish .Very real & nice to drink.

I wasn’t really a fan. Maye I’ve been having too many westo coast, american, hop-bomb IPAs. But this one seemed almost like a tripel to me. It was so sweet and syrupy that I doubted it was even an IPA. Not a bad beer, just not what i thought it’d be. At all.

Large frothy head medium carbonation in a clear gold to orange coloured ale aroma fruity hop and malt floral note taste bitter yeasty citric cumquart like or citric peel very hoppy sweetness also really nice stonefruit morishing orange flavour malty sweetness good bitter sweet fruit finish hoppy nice stuff.

Notevole IPA della Meantime, che in the meantime mi ha rallegrato la giornata, regalatami da Alessio per Natale (che tesoro) e smezzata con lui per giustizia (io gli avevo regalato una insignificante birra di Natale della Manerba Brewery); stramba per il suo carattere così piccante/dolce al principio che viene smorzato da un attacco di luppolo forse meno torrido del previsto. Una strong IPA.

Crushed with Jakebra. Never had a IPA outta a corked 750ml. Not much nose, kinda some hay and some poop. Flavor has some hop bitterness and more poop. Not too hard to drink, but not very satisfying or good.

Share with barrios courtesy of mmmckay. Nose of honey, vanilla, and a hint of alcohol heat. clear light gold pour with offwhite head. Pine, light earthy hop is well balanced and easy drinking. All the hop flavor is very muddled and english in style. Very drinkable.

(Bottle, BBE 020310, on 2009-01-17) Pale amber. Hazy. Huge, quite beatufiul looking dense white head. Grassy and dry nose. Full bodied and dry palate with medium carbonation. Hops, grass, hint of raisin, bitterness, light fruitiness and malts intaste, Bitter and malty aftertaste. Little bit musty beer. Probably I haven’t stored it in optimal conditions.

Bottle with Butters. Pours an off-white head and amber color. Smells of apricot, sweet malt, and honey. Tastes of apricot, pineapple and caramel. Not very bitter. Good body with a big mouth fizz. Sweet, fruity finish.
