Belhaven Twisted Thistle IPA (Europe) (Bottle)

Brewed by Belhaven (Greene King)
Style: American Pale Ale
Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland

Flat head with a citrus front followed by a dry dry slab on nice sourish acidic car batteries. Very good and flat though a little bit confused.

50cl bottle, as shown. Deep golden color, rather beautiful! Fluffy white head that collapses quickly. Aroma of malt and hops, floral-citric bias. The latter extends to the taste, but with good malty balance and dry, bitter (but not lingering) finish. Reminds me of a stronger Czech Pilsener, or heavier-than-usual German Export. Oily texture, very pleasant. A summer beer.

I would say it pours with a clean golden air-y white head. It is a light hoppy beer with a twist of lime. Over all it a good spring to summer beer. I would recomend for hot days and cook outs

birra di un bel giallo paglierino,accompagnata da un bel cappello di schiuma bianchissima,compatta e persistente per tutta la bevuta. abbastanza luppolata,risulta leggermente amarognola al palato,ma mai abbastanza decisa. me ne avaveno parlato molto,risulta una buona birra ma nulla piu’.

Sample at Voldby Ølmesse. Medium head with medium duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are malt, caramel, citrus and hops. Bitter finish.

50cl bottle poured into a lager glass. Dark gold with one finger lasting white head. Aroma is light caramel and heavy floral hops. Flavor is heavy in hops. Long bitter finish. Okay but not my style.
