Inspired by the American take on our own IPAs, this blend of five American hops that gives a fragrant aroma that make it perfect for summertime drinking. The image on the label represent the Golden Gate bridge which is a famous feature of San Francisco, where American IPAs originated in the 1970s, kicking off the West Coast's micro brewing revolution.

2016 catch up - Bottle as M&S Summer IPA - A very nice IPA. Hops, smoothness and a very well hidden alcohol. I could easily drink this until I fell over and I would enjoy every moment of it. A very British IPA with more bitterness than floral hop flavours and all the better for it.

Bottle at home, 31/12/15 as M and S Southwold Summer IPA. Clear golden orange with a well appointed off white covering. Nose is orange, grain, toasted bread, light metallic notes, citric pith. Taste comprises orange squash, bread dough, toasted malt, light caramel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with light hop bitterness. Ok drinkable affair if somewhat pedestrian for style and under hopped for my liking.

500ml bottle as M&S Southwold Summer IPA. Pours clear amber, short-lived white head. Aromas of limes, chalk, fresh orange, bubblegum. Taste is more citrus, with white sugar sweet notes rather than caramel. Develops into a lime marmalade kinda thing, with more hubba bubba. Bitter finish. Yeah, pretty good.

As Marks and Sparks Southwold Summer IPA. Clear amber beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly crisp. Semi dry. Light malts carry a fair bit of caramel. Mild esters. Hops are a mildly bitter floralness. Smooth semi dry finish. Bitter linger. Too caramel dominated to be a decent IPA, more of a big ESB.
