India Pale Ale first made its name in the 19th century. Here's hoping our pioneering IPA can make its mark too.

Its fervent hoppy character hails from the unique addition of large quantities of hops at three separate points during brewing. The result is a beer that's rounded yet refreshing, with delicate floral notes and oodles of zesty freshness.

Malt: I & G Ale Malt & Wheat
Hops: Goldings & Styrian Goldings
Maturation: Lightly toasted American oak heartwood in our Oakerators®

33cl bottle from Alko. Golden colored, thin white head. Oak, citrus fruits, dishwater-lemony with some vanilla notes in aroma. Flavor has oak, citrus, sweet candy, malt. sweet finish with some vanilla. Yak, sweet and somewhat artifical feel over it. I used to like I&G:s brews, but this was over the line.

A golden beer with a medium and white head. The aroma is biscuity malty, citrusfruits, toffee, some fruits, nice and fresh. Taste of toffeeish malts, dry wood, some fresh citrusfruits. Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Quite mild and modest beer, luckily fresh.

Smell of alcohol. Golden colour, white head. Aroma of alcohol, oak. Stinging. Flat carbon. Alcohol-induced sweetness. Nasty.

Bottle 330ml (Alko)
Clear golden color, small white head. Aroma has corn, strong sweet vanilla and light lime note. Light to medium-bodied. Flavor has vanilla, backing beer itself is typical English golden ale. Light zesty English hops, slightly honeyish hoppyness. Doesn’t gain from Oak at all.

Bottled (from Alko Prisma, Vaasa). Amber colour small slightly off-white head. Aroma is vanilla, some slight sour wooden notes along with mild citrus and some floral and resiny notes. Flavour is being rather similar, with the resiny and bitter floral notes being stronger, and the sour wooden notes are a bit similar too.

Aroma is fruity with some apricot, peaches and hints of hay. Flavour has vanilla, oaky tones, some ripe fruits and peaches. Better than I expected.
