Grunge Ipa has a beautiful deep amber color, tending to red. The foam that forms is white, compact and persistent. Captivating and pimping at the same time, it releases at the same time, but with excellent balance, sweet malty fragrances and strong hoppy aromas with clear hints of tropical fruit and refreshing resinous, herbaceous and pine needles notes.
On the palate the malty profile prevails, which, sweet and caramelized, leads to what is the trademark of this beer: hopping.

Cask at Pig’s Ear Beer Festival, London. Clear brownish amber. Strawberry aroma. Mid sweet with above medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Solid caramelly body with lots of wild strawberry hops. Growing spicy bitterness. Mellow and warming.

@Pigs Ear Beer Festival 2011. Deep ambery golden colour with a small head. Aroma and flavour are both rather fruity and floral hops along with some nectary, crisp malty notes and mild notes of syrup as well. Rather sweet and sticky, but otherwise nice IPA.

Bottle at GBBF 2011, Day 1, split with Ken and Paul. Pours a dark, ruby-brown with a massive, off-white head. Toast and caramel nose. Toasty malt flavor, light earthen bitters, some faint fruits. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Rich, pleasant finish, malts, toast, fruits. Good stuff.

Bottle at GBBF 2011, thanks to Ken. It pours dark amber, with a massive beige head. The nose is piney goodness, citrus, grass and yeast. The taste is caramel, wood, leather, astringency, earth and some green vegetables, with a light bitter-dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A decent IPA.
