Commercial Description:
Brewed in the style of a classic India Pale Ale, this intensely hopped ale is a hymn to the virtues of the exclusive Kentish Cobb hop. We add the hops at four different stages of brewing to develop the full spectrum of their taste. The magnificent Cobb rewards with a gentle bitterness and aromatics of depth and distinction. Married with Maris Otter barley from Suffolk this is a majestic ale to enjoy on occasions that call for the very best.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a beautiful, clear amber with a nice, off-white head. Fresh and lightly floral aroma. Medium body with a slightly sweet malt character quickly balanced by a distinct bitterness. Ends very dry. Very decent. 150906

Bottled. Amber colour, large but brief head. Perfumy hop aroma with notes of peach and melon. Medium sweet with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Light caramelly malt backs the wealth of unsual perfumy hops. Dusty finish with powerful bitterness. A damn fine English IPA!

Bottle, 5.6%. Citric hop aroma. Almost clear copper colour. Big stable head. The flavour starts caramelly with a little aromatic hoppiness, and turns bitter in an OK dry way. Nicely balanced.

A Mes rate: bottle thanks very kindly to Vicky.
There is no denying it is a good looking beer. Rich amber with a good off white head and really well conditioned. I’m pleasantly surprised to find I actually rather like this. Good Kentish hoppage with some delicate spice and a solid malt base. Faint sweet bready notes too. A very slight hint of cardboard but the hops kick it out of the way without any fuss. Good length to the dry bitter finish. Drinkable and balanced. Thanks V!

Bottle thanks to Mes shared with the both of them. Aroma is balanced, smells slightly pasturiesed cardboard character, but mainly earthy grassy hop with balancing malts. Taste is similar, quite drinkable stuff.
