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.

Small offwhite head doesn’t last. Clear brown body. Earthy floral metallic aroma with malty cocos notes. Very little aroma. Dry-sweet floral caramelly taste with watery notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry watery resiny cocos aftertaste with soft caramelly notes. It’s very low on flavour, and not really all that drinkable, so overall this is not a winner. No obvious flaws, though. (0.5l bottle, wine monopoly web order.)

(Bottle, 0.5 l - BBE Nov 14, at William K Kurvi, 20140311) The beer poured amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had sweetness, toffee, malts and earth. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were toffee, sweetness, earth, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. A Bitter with stronger ABV. Not bad a all.

Bouteille 50cl, no BB. Ambrée, col épais crémeux blanc cassé. Arôme offre un bouquet restant centré sur un malt caramel assez basique et très anglais de caractère. Tout cela reste compensé par un houblonné Kent - Golding offrant des notes citronnées et herbacées nobles. Palais reste ici aussi axé sur les malts ponctués par des houblons amer très anglais avec un fini sec et poussiéreux.

500ml bottle kindly passed on by Yngwie. Clear amber coloured body. Moderate off-white head. Caramel nose, vague hops beneath. Malt-fruity taste, caramel and herbal hops. Restrained bitterness to a malt-fruity ending. Fine bodied and smooth on the swallow. Likable (Tour de Østfold, bus trip, RBNG 15.02.2014)

Appearance: Clear dark golden color with a fine white head. Ok lacing at a plastic cup.
Aroma: Caramel malty, butterscotch, hoppy and some fruity notes.
Palate: Medium + body. Slight sweet and an ok bitterness. Average carbonation.
Taste: Hoppy, butterscotch and fruity on a solid malty back.
Overall impression: And a bit less butterscotch would have done this one fine.
Personal stats: Bottle. Buss ale at RBNG14

Bottle. A clear dark golden to amber colored beer with a finger thick off-white head. A bit on the malty side, with nuts and some bread. Caramel. The hops play second fiddle. There a nice bitterness in the flavor, but it lacks on the hoppy flavors. Full body, soft carbonation. Caramel, bread and a decent bitterness in the end. Overall, a nice beer, but I prefer more hops in my beers. 140215
