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.

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.

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.

On tap at Tria. Pours a yellow-orange with a thick white head. Aroma of mild citrus and grassy hops. Flavor of sweet malt, not really hoppy at all. Chill, ok, with a smooth palate. Decent, but not what I was expecting for an IPA. 7/4/6/4/14 (3.5/5)
