COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular.
Citrus dominated IPA with a slight astringency in the first sip that warns you of what’s about to come and an enduring bitter finish (IBUs 65). Back end taste and aromas of tropical fruits from the New Zealand Kohatu hops with Dana hops giving the sensation of being smacked in the mouth with a jar of marmalade…. kinda like Bob Dylan on acid.
Malt: Maris Otter Pale, Crystal Malt & Bamberg Cara Aroma
Hops: Bravo, Cascade, Dana & Kohatu

Osprey87 (540) - London via, WALES - MAR 20, 2013
Jan 2013 - draught. Not bad. Strong flavour - full, rich, hoppy. Drying in the mouth, but not overly bitter. I wasn’t a massive fan, but the barkeep said he thought it was lovely. Each to their own I guess.

On tap at Man in the Moon in Stockholm (during the IPA festival). Smell of ash and smoke. Toasty smell with flowers, earth. Not very hoppy, I wonder if this was old. Not very tasty.

pieeetr (15) - Hägersten, SWEDEN - FEB 13, 2013
Quite integrering beer, but maybe it's more interesting than good. The first thing that strikes me is a buttery but even more grassy after taste. Interesting to taste, but I wouldn't buy a bottle of it. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
