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. Copper coloured with a large white head. Aroma is hoppy with citrus, spices and perhaps a touch of barnyard. A pretty hoppy taste too, some spices and oranges and a long lightly bitter finish. Medium bodied, softly carbonated. I like it.

Clear copper with a large white head. Great retention and lacing. Aroma of yeast, apple, caramel and flowers. The body feels quite thick and creamy, giving flavours of caramel, earthy, flowery hops. Well balanced and perfectly bitter. Smooth hoppy finish, perhaps a little buttery.

Bottle. Orangey amber, hazy with a big offwhite head. Hoppy citrus and apples aroma. Caramel sweetness marry with citrus and fruity hops flavours. Good bitterness. Medium to full body. A great IPA, almost American-style with its potency.

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!

[Bottled] Amber with a large and bubbly head. Sourish aroma with citrus and hops. Fine maltiness with chocolate-notes. Also some vegetables...

Bottled. An amber coloured beer with a wispy off white head. The aroma is nicely hoppy, but thet are not the aromatic American hops that may have qualified it as an IPA, more the soapy English hops with a bit of peppery quality that qualify it as a Prem Bitter. The taste is a good balance of hop and malt. Again there is a soapy and peppery character, and a good level of English bitterness. A tasty beer using a hop I’d not heard of.

[Bottle] Amber, somewhat unclear color. Dense head. Aroma is fruit, toffee and a little bit of liquorice. Flavour is more toffee followed by a nice hoppy bitterness.

[Bottled] Amber colour with a good, remaining creamy head. Aroma is earthy hoppy, with notes of lead and citrus. The hop bite in flavour strikes you immediately, here is loads of alpha acids. Nice. Rounded mouthfeel. The bitterness after is dry and fruity and lasts long. There is a touch of lead all along. Pretty light body after all, at 5,6%. 50 IBU? Not bad for an English India Pale Ale.
