Commercial Description:
A more robust version of our Pale Ale is given extra time to condition and mellow. The result is a fairly strong ale that still has the distinctive dry hop character and "snap" of our regular Pale. AKA, "Uncle Andy's IPA".

Cask at Great British Beer Festival ’07. This was beautiful. Dark amber with a small off white head. Beguiling and delectable sweet aroma. Taste of grainy malt and vanilla ice cream. Mid bitter. Utterly drinkable. Interesting that people reference this beer as ’very British’: in the opinion of this British drinker, it’s better than anything we’ve got over here.

I want to start off by saying how much I love Grittys! This was a good beer. Copper color. Grapefruit aroma. A little bit of caramel start with grassy notes and grapefruit finish. Order the fried haddock sandwich rolled in barley to go with this beer.

Cask@GBBF07. Sweet fruity and floral aroma. Orange brown colored, beige head, good lace. Sweet, fruity, bitter, grassy, nice balance. Sticky mouthfeel with a dry finish. Very nice.

En fût. Verre de dégustation chez Gritty’s, établissement de Freeport. Arôme: Odeur de pin avec une pointe de pamplemousse. Apparence: La couleur est ambrée orangée. Présence d’un mince col mousseux. Saveur: Goût de pin et de pamplemousse. Longue durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Amertume d’houblon en arrière goût.

Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - GBBF 2007. A copper coloured beer with a nice whitish head. The aroma is good hops. Notes of lychee. The taste is hoppy, fruity and malty. Good berry notes. Good alcohol. An all round ngood beer.
