COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottled. Occasionally available in cask.
First brewed in December 2005 for the St Austell Brewery Celtic Beer Festival.
Ingredients:Cornish Spring water and malt made from 100% Cornish grown Maris Otter barley. Cascade, Chinook and Willmette hops.
Proper Job is dedicated to the 32nd (Cornwall) Regiment who stoutly defended their garrison during the Indian Mutiny in 1857-58. In recognition of a ‘Proper Job’, Queen Victoria awarded the 32nd the honour of becoming a Light Infantry Regiment.
"Light, clear and refreshing with an assertive hop bitterness, Proper Job IPA is based on a traditional IPA recipe which makes it perfect for long, hot summer days."

Eructoblaster (2518) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 17, 2013
Bottle - 500ml. Boring pale gold body with a thin, fading white foamy head. Misbalanced malty aroma with hoppy and rotten herbs hints. Its bad hoppy taste carries weird leather and flat ginger ale notes. Ends with a short bitter/herbal finish. Very disappointing.

nilsas (162) - Bryne, NORWAY - JUN 17, 2013
God sur søtlig lukt. gyllen fin farte, lite skum. En søtlig smak med en litt sur ettersmak. Greit og leskende.

Lys gyllen farve med lyst skum. Fruktig lukt. Søtlig fruktig smak med lite særpreg. Bittersøt avslutning. Vinmonopolet.

ciaranc (388) - Dublin, IRELAND - MAY 24, 2013
Straw coloured, white, medium lasting head. Bready malt nose with a little citrus. Full flavored for an English ale, big bready malt backed by some nice hop bitterness. Smooth, soft mouthfeel, fairly soft carbonation. Pleasant.

morri (83) - NORWAY - MAY 17, 2013
500ml bottle from Vinmonopolet. Small white head. Clear golden body. Spicy aroma of hops and malt with a hint of caramel and vanilla. Sweet taste with a bitter finish. Easily drinkable. Could’ve been richer.

Creedence (161) - Cork, IRELAND - MAY 12, 2013
500ml bottle at Cork Cricket Club. Pours a clear golden with a thin white head. Not too many sparkles, looks a little on the flat side. Aroma is lovely and fruity - a pile of fresh citrus and strawberry, Cascade hops are very prominent. Taste is medium sweetness and medium bitterness. Quite nicely balanced. Not too dry a finish, nice light bitterness, maybe a touch under-carbonated. Overall, very refreshing and pleasant drinking.

danlo (392) - Durham, ENGLAND - MAY 11, 2013
500ml bottle. Golden amber colour, foam white head leaving alittle lacing and floral, citrus, earthy aroma. Taste is sweetish malt caramel, grapefruit, zesty lemon & pine hop bitterness. Thin slightly soapy mouth feel, light to medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry bitter finish. Quite drinkable IPA.

Osprey87 (585) - London via, WALES - MAY 11, 2013
Cold bottle. Pale orange, little head. Decent enough - a little watery, earthy, balanced bitterness with no astringency. Drinkable beer, but not very exciting.
