Commercial Description:
Our hoppiest beer to date! This formidable India Pale Ale has a hop aroma that demands attention. The bold, citrus hop flavor is balanced by a dry malt character that makes this refreshing ale a true classic.

A light amber beer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet hoppy though with a hint of acidity - a light aroma for an IPA. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit and caramel, as well as a slight acidic note. Somewhat boring.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Hazy amber golden with a small, off-white head. Fresh aroma of citrus and some sweet caramel. Medium body with sweet notes of caramel and some odd chewing gum notes. A moderate bitterness - the sweetness prevails. Courtesy of xproudfoot - thanks Chris.181106

(12oz bottle) Crystal clear amber body with medium off-white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is fairly strong, moderately sweet, grapefruit, pineapple, light caramel. Taste is moderately sweet, grapefruit, caramel, pineapple, floral, some spice. Pretty bitter. Smooth medium-full body, some resin, light chalk, acidity. The alcohol and sweetness are a bit strong for the style, seems midway to an IIPA. No complaints though, as this is definitely my favorite Lancaster so far.

(Bottle) Pours a cloudy burnt orange body with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, banana bread, nuts, and citrus. Flavor of caramel, toasted malt, and hops.

Poured a darker amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, flowers and citrus. Sweeter and malty taste with a lighter bitter hop balance. Not your ’hop monster’ IPA.

1cm irregular off-white head fades quickly from the clear copper hue. Full crystal malt nose appearing candyish and hinting at sweet toffee up front while the mellow citrusy and earthy hops remain hiding underneath. Totally dominating, focused caramel malts keep on hiding the hops, tartish candy flavours emanate while the global organisation offer cardboardy hints and a mostly herbal hop profile in its extreme dryness. Dull, woody, light bodied, faint carbonation.

GBof A PA-on tap-pours an off white head and gold color. Aroma is medium hops-citrus-sweet, malt. Taste is medium hops-citrus-sweet malt. Taste doesn’t quite measure up to aroma. OK carbonation.
