hughie (2414), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Aug 3, 2006 Hazy golden with a large white head. Spicy aroma is followed by a sweet, fruity taste, slightly citric. Long bitter finish. Lots of alcohol in the taste. If I understand correctly, ’traditional English-style India Pale Ale’ really means English copy of an American copy of a traditional English-style... etc.’ I really enjoyed it.
joe19612 (441), camberley, Surrey, England Jan 11, 2008 Bottle Conditioned. Poured a golden coloured beer with a thin white head. The aroma is of citrus with a hint of bitter orange, dry hoppy finish.
thewolf (4146), Kolding, Denmark Dec 15, 2007 Bottle @ YNWA, Kolding. Pours a muddy pale orange with a small creamy white head. Aroma is hoppy with lots of flowers and a little pine and a little background caramel. Nice dry mouthfeel. Flavour is very bitter and dry. Good bity biscuitness and pilsner/caramel sweetness behind the flowery bitterness. A wonderful, nice, english IPA. DruncanVeasey (1814), No. 46, Leicestershire, Belgium Nov 24, 2007 Bottled, months ago. Shining gold with white lace. Big, resiny, sappy aroma drenched with citrus. Whole hop leafiness with a hint of pinecone. Juicy fibrous pineapple and blood orange. Lip-smacking hop juiciness leading to a quinine-bitter finish. Dangerous refreshment ,and an aromatically fruity IPA. thebeertourist (2005), Oslo, Norway Oct 19, 2007 Bottle. Light amber colour with a thick, rocky head. English hoppiness in the nose- the mix of flowers and grass. Flavours start on the sweet side, and remains there, despite the grassy hops. Not my favourite, unfortunately. Rastacouere (5418), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Oct 3, 2007 I had very high expectations for this one after loving Jaipur and Hophead and was not quite let down, but I did not like it as much as the preceding glorious brews. Clearish golden ale wearing a small white cover. Highly aromatic with strong floral and limey notes sparkled on by fresh cut grassiness and an out of place acetone tang. Pleasant despite the off-tone and brightly clear flavours in mouth, supported by a medium body. Well carbonated for a mostly thin, bready cask ale.
