Caledonian Deuchars IPA (Bottle/Can)

Brewed by Caledonian (S&N, Heineken)
Style: Bitter
Edinburgh, Lothians, Scotland

0.5 l bottle from S-market, Vantaa. Very refreshing, with taste of caramel. Above average beer.

500 ml can from LCBO. Pours a clear yellow-orange gold with small, quickly disappearing, soapy white head. Flowery hop aroma with notes of lemon and honey. Flavour is similarly floral, resiny hoppy with some caramel malt and honey sweetness. Crisp finish, fizzy carbonation. Decent.

0.5 l bottle from K-Market Länsiväylä, Jyväskylä. Deep golden color with small head. Floral and resiny English hop aroma with a touch of caramel and lemon. Dryish delicate flavor biscuity maltiness, floral and resiny hops, caramel, medium bitterness and some minerals in the finish. Light bodied and fizzy. Delicate and refreshing. Could have more maltiness, now this is a bit soda like.

Smells like any average macro but the flavour is alright a little bit of a mix between a bitter and a pale ale. Nice hoppyness but well balanced. Nothing to spectacular but a decent beer.

500 ml bottle. Golden color, frothy white head. Hoppy aroma with some rasberry and grass. Grassy flavor with a malty finish. Medium-light body, medium-light carbonation. What makes this an IPA?

Nose: Marmalade, lemon, honey, mint. Taste: Toffee & Marmalade. slightly nutty Nice foam. Quite pleasant but not my preferred style.

500ml can, 4.4% a/v Pours a nice deep gold colour with a decent white head, darker colour then expected. Aroma is slightly corny and boozy. There is also a nice bit of hops on the nose. The taste is decently hoppy but with a nice malt compliment. The palate is a bit watery but not too bad. A pretty average beer in every regard, and a well balanced brew all around.

Real nice look to this beer. Golden yellow with a nice thick white head. Aroma is very mild and smells like malts. Taste is smooth, no bitterness with a little spice. Pretty average IPA.
