Commercial Description:
Bottle: Pastuerised.
A refreshing example of an India Pale Ale from the master brewers at Belhaven. The blend of Cascade and Challenger hops combine to produce an abundance of fresh hop aroma that preludes a bitter-dry taste explosion. Crafted from nearly three centuries of brewing heritage at Scotland’s oldest independent brewery, this ale from Belhaven will have your taste buds tingling.
6.1% USA export version. The Europe version is 5.3%.

(The Gallows Bird, Espoo) Amber coloured, huge head. Notes of hops and sweat in the aroma. Flavour is a bit chemical with some rescuing hops. Way too watery IPA for my taste.

Pours a golden colour with a decent head, some lacing-but low....smell is quite incredibly delicious: apples, pine, honey.....is smooth and reviving! A euro ipa for sure, very balanced too!

This is an orange colored IPA with a moderate head. The aroma is delicious and fruity, and I find the same notes in the flavour, where I also find caramel and citrus bitterness. Normally I’m not a Belhaven fan, but I do like this one.

Clear fully golden colour with a small white head. Malty, sweet aroma with a hoppy fruity and pine note. Malty, light sweet flavor with hoppy pine bitter notes and a dry fruity finish.

Great sour/bitter flavor and interestingly dry, at least to my mouth. a very nice change of pace every once in a while.
