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."

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a slowly diminishing off-white head. Aroma is mild citrus fruity hops with a light pilsner accent. Flavour starts citrus fruity, quite refreshing. Shows a light pilsner like flavour followed by a good portion of bitterness into the finish. Fruity accents into the far finish. Great refreshing brew.

Cask @ Freshfield Hotel, Formby. ABV stated as 4.5%. Honey coloured, with a small white head. Full of hoppy citrus flavours. Very fruity with a full on bitterness. Hadn’t realised this was an IPA but should have. Very drinkable despite (or because of ) a cold wet early September evening.

The bottle label has some old fart Colonel type dude on it . I assumed they were trying to pass this up as fake IPA,like many UK beers with that IPA sensibility . This is more hoppy and vibrant than those fake IPA’s. Nice tropical fruit ,like lychees and Pine needles doing the conga with juicy fruits . Biscuty mild sweet maltiness in derr. Good job-Proper Job. That sounded lame.
