Strong and well hopped for the voyage sending IPA from the Wolds to the World. Interestingly brewed with a pale Wold grown malt base, a triple hop blend and Maize for the head retention.

Bottle from Shambles Tavern in York. Golden with a decent head and carbonation about right. Toast and lemon curd on nose and taste. Nice balanced and tasty ale.

500ml bottle. Clear, yellow-ish golden colour with small to average, thick, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Grassy hoppy aroma, a touch of hay, hints of lemon biscuit. Taste is moderately sweet, biscuity malty, hoppy overtones with a lemon note, hints of lemon biscuit, a touch of balm, moderate hop bitterness. Pronounced, IPA-suitable maltiness.

Cask at GBBF. A kind of pale strong ale with thick but loosely structured, off-white head and hazy peach blonde colour. Aroma of field flowers representing noble European hop character, hints of strawberry and biscuit, roses, fried egg, some white bread. Dryish taste (this is apparently gluten free) with a malt fruity edge, some sweetness coming through, bit oily mouthfeel, light floral hop bitterness with an earthy bittering character but perhaps lacking some retronasal aroma. English style IPA alright, but too subdued in hop character to stand up against the new American IPA wave even for this substyle.

Bottled. Hazy yellowish golden colour with a small white head, which lasts for quite a bit. Aroma is citrus, some bready notes, mild maizelike notes as well as some slight herbal and grassy notes. Flavour is fruity, floral, grassy, hebral and some mild bready malts to it. Quite mellow bitterness in the beer.

Bottle from Booths, Media City. Golden with a small head. Has a strength but it’s certainly not as dominant as its crisp tropical fruit taste. There’s plenty of aroma here too.

(Bottle, 0.5 l - BB 01/16, at Angleterre, 20150426) The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was small and white. Aroma had fruitiness, mild herbalness and a hint of malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, sweetness, fruitiness and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, hoppy and bitter. A tasty hoppy pale ale but too sweet.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury’s. Pale golden colour with white head. Hoppy aroma, with a citrusy fruit taste, very drinkable, considering the high alcohol.
