Caledonian Deuchars IPA (Bottle/Can)

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

An orange beer with a fine creamy head. The aroma is faintly malty sweet. The flavor hoppy sweet in the beginning from an OK malt blend combined with a very smooth mouthfeel. It finishes on a fruity bitterness, that lingers. An OK beer, but not an IPA, not strong enough nor bitter enough. I'd call it a bitter.

(Bottle 50 cl) Orangey golden or pale amber - whatever you prefer. Almost no head. Lightly floral nose. Incredibly lovely flavours from the aroma hops, but not really overly hoppy. Actually the bitterness is rather subdued. Slightly sweetish, caramel-like notes. Very delicate and easy to drink. 160605
