RCH Hewish IPA

Brewed by RCH
Style: Bitter
Weston-super-Mare, England

Serve in English pint

Cask Blackfriars. Aroma is slightly roasted malts, hints of burnt bitterness. Taste is upfront alround bittering hop, and not much else. I mean yea i love hops, but i want more than just raw bitterness.

Cask (handpump) @ GBBF 2007, London. Light unclear light amber color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, toasted, light to moderate hoppy, light citrus, light light toffe and butter. Flavor is light to moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 9/8/07. A decent enough session beer. Aroma of dusty hops followed by a hint of biscuity malt and a bitter finish. Fine.

UPDATED: FEB 16, 2010 Cask gravity at Kent BF. Pale chestnut, really nice colour with thin white head. It’s fine. It does what it says, a drinkable session bitter. Decent hop. 3/5 Re rate cask handpull at The Rake Really hoppy ofr a 3.6% beer. Tastes like a proper bitter. Bit of hop, biscuit malt. Great condition.

Dark amber color with good off-white head. Strong honeyish hoppy aroma. Malty but quite pale malty and hoppy, but not aggressive for IPA. Licorice notes. Light as you can expect from 3.6 % beer but ok for sessions.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at Kent Beer Festival. Mid brown colour. Hoppy tobacco aroma with some slight sweetness. Flavour is similar with a lovely bitterness around the edges. Slightly tangy finish.

Dark amber with white-ish head. Dull, quick finish, a bit of malt and a finish suggestive of almonds and raw rhubarb. (cask at Three Judges, Glasgow)

Cask conditioned @ South Western Arms, Soton. Light copper. Dryish malt toffee and light fruity hop. Fairly drinkable but quite boring.
