Lovibonds 69 IPA is not a boring, middle of the road IPA. We're not quite sure how British IPAs have evolved into such low gravity pints of hop-lessness. 69 IPA is part of a new generation of IPAs, one that fuses the great history of IPA with modern hops and techniques.
You may not be aware, but craft brewers in the States are now producing some of the most remarkable, flavoursome and diverse beers in the world. IPA is a style that they have embraced with vigour and 69 IPA is a nod to our brothers and sisters across the pond, who serve as a guide and inspiration for this beer.
At 6.9% abv, our IPA has the strength of an original IPA, but is infused with the modern aromas and flavours of the USA's finest Centennial and Columbus hops.

Tap at the Rake. Pours a rich, cloudy gold with a fluffy, white head. Strong hop aroma with melon, pine and some bread. Fairly sweet flavor with notes of honey and caramel. Plenty of bitterness, with more melon and fine citrus. Also hints of bubblegum. Body is full, like a DIPA, and the carbonation is soft to fine. Finishes sweet with pineapple and melon, light, bready malts, faint toast, and some sticky, resinous hops. Perhaps a bit heavy-handed in some aspects, but overall this was a good drink.
