Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Described as an American Single Hop Special. Dark gold. Spicy floral hop aroma. Painty taste. The finish is strongly bitter. Obviously trying to develop the taste for American style IPA’s, this had the locals here in the Shire coughing and spluttering. I rather liked it.

May 15, 2008 another top beer from Acorn, the latest in their series of American hop IPAs. unfortunately not as hoppy as an American IPA - with the exception of the Sheps’ take on Stone IPA no-one in the UK seems to have the guts to try that - but is certainly a well-hopped, bitter ale with a long-lasting dry finish
