Big Eagle IPA is big in body & bold in flavour. Generous amounts of four American hop varieties are set against a sweet, four-malt backbone.
Whilst some beers mature like fine wines, Big Eagle IPA deserves to be savoured young at the peak of it's hop fresh character. Open, inhale, drink.
This version was retired in 2017, but returned in 2020 with higher ABV, before returning to 6.4% circa 2021

Can picked up from Beer Ritz online shop, consumed at home Easter Saturday 15th April 2017 after a second hard day building a pond, now just finishing off cooking Lamb Shawarma. Pours hazy gold with a slim white head. Very fruit with a good zesty and lemony pithiness, zappy, crisp but with a good bittersweet linger, like it. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

(Cask at Euston Tap, Euston, London, 24 Nov 2016) Pale amber colour with creamy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of grapefruit, tropical fruit, resin and floral hops. Malty, fruity taste with citrus, tropical fruit, pineapple, resin, sweetish malt and a balanced citric bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty, with a generous hop profile. Nice one.

Bottle shared in London - cheers! Pours clear orange-gold with a frothy, white head. The nose has pithy and rindy citrus, pale bread, crackers. Light sweet flavour, white dry, pithy, with lots of minerality. Light bodied with average carbonation. Dry finish with more minerality, citrus peel. So so overall.
