NEW Autumn 2013: Pale IPA with good bitterness using lots of American Columbus, Chinook, Cascade and Citra for flavour and aroma and dry hopped during fermentation with Columbus, Willamette and Cascade. A bold, hoppy beer you’d expect from Great Heck!

Bottle from Merchants 1688, Lancaster. Dark gold/copper, decent carbonation. A bit of white head. Pune/resinous aroma. Pure unadulterated hop. Taste is more muted: surprisingly sweet, hinting at maple syrup. A bit of bitterness in the unexpectedly dry finish. Perfect amount of carbonation. A joy to drink, and a reminder why we rate beer.

Cask, Philarmonic, Liverpool. Amber looks with a small lingering white head. Promising piney hop and citrus in the nose. The sweetish flavour unfolded along similar lines with good tropical fruits mingling with a solid malt spine. Very drinkable and tasty stuff. Let’s raise a glass to Ravi.
