Maybe an Amber. Not enough hops for an APA. Pours light amber with a small white head. Lots of lacings. Taste is smooth, balanced, sweet, bitter hops. IBU must be about 15. Slight bitter finish.

12 oz. bottle as IPA 46 Ale. Aroma of malt and floral hop. Hazy amber color with a reasonable off-white head. Medium body with biting, creamy carbonation. Malty, but there is floral hop that nearly balances. It’s a bit different, neither exactly APA nor IPA. I vote for a strongly favored ESB. I really like it. Finishes pretty clean with decent bitter.

I thought I remembed liking this more, but this tasting just didn’t do that much for me. It has a metallic taste and a cardboard quality in the finish.

Mildly hazy yellow with thin off-white head. Citrus nose balanced with sweet malts. Citric hop finish (grapefruit) with a mild bitter aftertaste, not very hoppy. Pretty weak as far as IPA’s go, this seems to a mass-produced starter IPA.

Bottle (IPA 46) , Carringtons, Manchester. Picked up a 6 pack of this for a party almost solely on the strength of the very attractive box resplendent with elephant and colonial theme..Unfortunately the beer itself doesn’t quite make the grade. Pours a dark golden colour with a fair head. Not much of an aroma to speak of. Tatse is sweet and pretty artifical with an unpleasant metallic twang to it. A bit naff really; as the saying goes , never judge a book etc etc

Sixpack from JustBrewIt, Jacksonville. Labeled IPA 46. Golden beer with a white head. Mild aromatic hop aroma. Decent flavor of pale malts and hops, as expected for an IPA. Tame by current IPA standards, and nothing to make it stand out. Still, it was drinkable and refreshing on a warm spring day in Florida. I wish I were as drunk as the guy at Ratebeer who put this in the APA categotry.
