COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
’East India Pale Ale’ was first brewed in England last century for the colonies East of India such as New Zealand and Australia. The beer was unpasteurised and secondary fermentation occured in the bottle during the long journey. Thirsty settlers loved its natural effervescent character and we reckon it still hits the spot today.
Brewer’s Comment: This fine ale is a thoroughly refreshing beer with a light palate best suited to beaches, barbecues and all beer related occasions.
Serving Suggestions: Serve lightly chilled on its own or with any manner of barbecued meats. At restaurants, or when trying to impress others, try and use a glass. Do not mix with salad.
Cellaring: Yeah right!

drpimento (1695) - La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 18, 2012
Having this served at at a good temperature, with a smallish, foamy, cream colored head that soon settled to a ring and no lace. Color is a clear copper amber with some bubble streams. Aroma is malt, beer. Flavor isn’t much more except inclusion of carbonic tang, very little hop. Body is ok, carbonation perhaps just a touch forced. Finish is like flavor, on the short side, and utterly forgettable.

Bottle. Brown colour with an off-white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, yeast, caramel. Flavour is fruit, malt, yeast, caramel. Ordinary beer.

TBone (9091) - Pori, FINLAND - JAN 6, 2012
Bottled 330ml (BZ, BB 04/2012)
Clear amber color, quickly vanishing white head. Caramelly aroma has some toasted sugar, plastic and harsh malts. Light bodied, very fizzy. Malty flavor with some hints of caramel. Except some fruityness in the finish, this tastes like an industrial Vienna. Harmless anyway.

JonMoore (1573) - Loughborough, Leicestershire, ENGLAND - DEC 25, 2011
Draft, Christchurch, Wellington, Rotorua, Auckland (RWC Sept 2011) Average easy drinking pale ale that I was extremely glad to be able to access given the Steinlager alternatives.

maneliquor (1005) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - DEC 10, 2011
Bottle from Mane Liquor. Super easy drinking pale with a slight citrus undertone throughout. Nothing spectacular or innovative or grabbing or whatever anyone is expecting. Just super easy drinking pale for the masses. Kind of like Coopers Pale but the NZ version

Kriegbaum (604) - Randers, DENMARK - DEC 6, 2011
Bottle 33 cl. Clear amber with a reddish tinge, and a small off white head. A little confusion arose because of the name as I had expected a well humket IPA .... But this was far from an IPA. Aroma of malt with notes of dark fruit and caramel. The taste is sweet and slightly bitter, with notes of malt and caramel.

wyzzywyz22 (1472) - Wirral, Merseyside, ENGLAND - NOV 30, 2011
Bottle, Carringtons, Chorlton. Dark orange pour with a minimal off white head. Aroma virtually non existent, maybe some veg on the turn.. Flavour was rank, vague malt and potato and a vile aftertaste. Nothing like an IPA and a quite woeful excuse for a beer, one of the worst..The brewer sounds like a turkey too. Drain pour.

ClubGonzo (1731) - Bergen, NORWAY - NOV 21, 2011
Bottle. Clear copper body, small white head. Aroma is amber malts, grass and hints of raspberries and hints caramel. Taste is vague caramel tones, hints of honey and grass. A bit watery palate. Despite a nice aroma, this beer is too anonymous to be anything but another tick I soon will forget.
