Mornington IPA is an American hopped India Pale Ale. Light orange-tinted amber in colour, this heavily hopped ale delivers rich stone-fruit aromas of peach and apricots. An initially sweet malty palate opens up to a fruity hop flavour and rising bitterness that will satisfy the bitter beer drinker.

330ml can from Leura cellars. Orange amber colour, foamy off-white head leaving lacing and aroma of tropical fruits, citrus, hop resins. Taste is malt caramel, sweetish, with peach, apricot, citrusy, grapefruit & pine, resiny spicy bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Very drinkable.

A bit murky, dull tan-amber, nice frothy head. Earthy, mushroomy hop. A bit syrupy but with earthy, crackery hop character.

Bottle from Mane Liquor, Perth. Amber with a decent, off-white head. Plenty of citrus fruit, with supporting biscuity malts and a decent, dryish finish. Enjoyable.

Notes of lemon, honeydew and honey in the aroma. followed by a heap of grapefruit on the tongue, with a little Tang on the sides of the tongue and hints of coffee and chocolate. Absolutely lovely. I love Mornington brewery.

From a 330ml bottle on 15/1/2012. Pours a murky very dark orange with a small to medium head. Has a strong and pleasant aroma of peach, apricot and passionfruit, with some piney hop notes. In the mouth, there’s a light sweet caramel malt and a barrage of stone fruits (particularly peach) and some orange marmalade. But it’s definitely hop oriented, with a huge, long resinous grapefruit bitterness the most distinct feature. Has a relatively thick texture.This is very good US style IPA, which is just a little bit different and perhaps more intense than the norm. .

Pours dark amber with a large, fading head.Nose shows resinous pine as well as some nectarine. Also lots of caramel and some cookie dough-like malt. Not particularly hoppy.Very malty flavours, quite rich and heavy, lots of caramel. Hops are mainly noticeable in the aggressive, piny bitterness.Could use more carbonation and a lighter body. Very syrupy.

[8/11] Tap (growler). Amber with a light beige head. Aroma of peaches, nectarines, kumquats, pine. Full, somewhat oily mouthfeel. Taste is initially sweet with stone fruit and caramel, then first citrus then pine bitterness kicks in. Quite aggressive resinous bitterness builds up over a glass and if there’s any finesse there it got elbowed out of the way. But this is pretty solid stuff. [3.4][3/15] Can. A little less aggressive at the end and maybe slightly drier. More harmonious drinking but the hops don’t scissor through the sweetness so well. [1/17] One of the reasons I like MP is the work they clearly put in on improving their core beers. Haven’t revisited this as much as the pale, but the same thing is going on. The hops aren’t crude but they cut through to solid bitterness at the end. The aroma’s cheerful. There’s heft - seems more like 7% - but not a lot of residual sweetness.
