An India Pale Ale, Hair in the Mailbox is bright and hoppy at 6.3% ABV. Color is hazy golden with an off-white head. Aroma blends notes of malt, honey, tropical and citrus fruits, light floral tones and lemon zest. The palate is bursting with a blend of orange and pineapple from the hops and warm notes of pine. Body is medium with soft carbonation and both sweet and spicy. Finish is both dry and bitter with light resin and biscuit notes. Easy drinking and great for pairing with burgers or other greasy foods.

Bottle. Golden color. Wheat and soft floral notes in the aroma. Malt, hints of yeast and metal in the flavor. Nothing special.

Rating on the London tube vol.2: 0,33 boks fra M&S St. Pancras. Fullpakket med deilige citrusfrukter, tropiske frukter og en solid maltkropp. En fornøyelse å reise på undergrunnen, og den saftige bitterheten varte nesten helt til Highgate.

Smell- weak to medium, hops, pine, citrus Foam- large, white appearance- yellow amber, clear, medium carbonation, small bubbles Taste-hops, bitterness and pineapple, more hops in aftertaste, medium bitterness, bit to stronger side. Ipa lovers will probably enjoy this, but as I am not huge hops fan, my score is bit lover. Bottle has nice design.

Many thanks to David for this bottle. Great fruity nose. The beer starts intense floral. Sticky deep hops over a fruity grainy body. Long grainy deep fruity aftertaste. Fantastic fruity grainy bitter aftertaste.

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Fine fruity hoppy aroma. Starts mild, malty, not as fruity as exspected. A bit moldy-fruity with notes of peaches. Background more and more dry. Finish well balaced. Okay.
