A glorious showcase of the distinct, heavily hopped beers for which Shepherd Neame is famed, India Pale Ale delivers potent bitterness, offset with generous amounts of pale ale malt to deliver a balanced, yet uncompromising brew.

Nice amber colour with thin head. Aroma of malt, caramel, burnt butter. Moderate to low carbonation and smooth on the palate without being syrupy. Taste of sweet malts, caramel, slight fruity hops with a moderate bitterness. Well balanced smooth old style IPA - nice. Superior to Marston's 'Old Empire' which I have had recently in a similar style.

Bottle on 18th April 2020 from Nisa, Chester Road, London N19. Pours a deep copper with shallow off-white diminishing foam and spot lacing. Intense caramel malt/molasses aroma. Toffee flavours in-mouth with hints of apple and berries. A hint of bitter hops comes some way to balancing an otherwise sweet caramel malt finish. Medium bodied with a full texture, the mouthfeel being a redeeming quality.

Sample@Ølfestival København 2018 (Day 3) - golden amber pour with a white head. Sweet fruity and malty with some muted citrus fruity undertones, sweet caramel malt, medium body, rather subdued hoppy bitter finish.

Smell - weak, some hops maybe bit of caramel. Foam - medium thin to thin, little soft, little watery, hops bitterness. Medium large, light brown white. Appearance - clear, blood orange, with few bubbles. Taste - hops, bitter, some weak sweetness, more hops bitterness in background. If you like hoppy beer, you should try this :) Drinkable but nothing special.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega kirjutan igale õllele selle sama teksti. Hindamiseks teen vaid ticki.
