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%.

Bottle. Thanks Russ. Poured a copper amber. Nose was clearly hoppy.Nicely balanced blend of malt and hops with a hop note that surprised me in its depth. Not my favorite hop variety, as I prefer it more floral, but a good beer.

Clear amber with a tight off white head. Mild floral hop aroma. Medium body. Nice grassy and floral hop flavors on a lightly sweet honey malty base.

Bottle from Bevmo. Pours a hazy copper with a thin off white head. Aroma is spicy and a bit skunky, really not alot there. Flavor is bitter, citrusy, and spicy, but with a good dose of grainy malt. Bitter finish. Medium bodied, medium carbonation.

aroma of fruit, butter, and grass; tiny floaties--otherwise average body with average white head, but with practically no lacing; overall flavor of earthy and metallic water with some fruit notes; it feels too spritzy; it’s okay.

This poured an orange color with a moderate white head. The aroma contains pine, grapefruit, and oranges. The flavor is rather hoppy with more grapefruits, orange, and a slight malt presence. This probably walks the line between APA and IPA but still a nice beer.
