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®

bottle, Tesco Honiton. Golden-brown with a red glow, fluffy and quickly collapsing white head. Intensive aroma, floral and fruity. Malty base with a touch of caramel, lots of citrusy hops and a spicy touch.

Golden color, clean, with small compact head. The aroma is lightly oaky, light hops. The mouthfeel is quite dry, it has light malt flavor, a bit metallic, vegetable, with very light oak.
Simple, inoffensive.

12 oz. bottle, courtesy of fiulijn (thanks Alex), pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of vanilla and toasted oak -- nice balance. Flavour is along the same lines, with light vanilla and a touch of toasted oak. Very pleasant flavours, with subtle vanilla characterizing this.

33cl bottle from Systembolaget, Strömstad. Pours clear golden with a white head. Wooden aroma dominated by vanillin with mild fruity and hoppy notes and hints of citrus. Sweet, slightly caramelly with vanilla and some fruity notes. Not exactly a refreshing IPA, and not quite my kind of beer, but drinkable.

Review based on the BJCP2008 guidelines (style 14A. English IPA). Bottle 33 cl - Batch L4148 19:50. AROMA: medium-low hop aromas of floral and citrusy character. mild sweet malt background and some wood barrel. APPEARANCE: pale golden color and translucent. Thin white head with poor retention. TASTE: mild floral hop flavours with a very faint malty background. background shows a mild oak barrel flavour. medium-high bitterness that lingers into a almost dry aftertaste. PALATE: medium-light body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: a supposed barrel aged IPA that needs more assertive "aged" notes.

Unclear golden color with a fine thick white head. Nice lacing. Looks very inviting. Hoppy, malty and some oak in the aroma. Ok body and a fine balance. Average to soft carbonation. Mild hoppy, vanilla, oak and malty flavor. Pleasant and easy drinkable ale. Nice.
