Paxton IPA is dry hopped with charismatic Australian hops known for their distinctive orange bouquet and wild herbal undertones. Full of flavour and attitude this beer does not apologise for what it is: a hard hitting, fully hopped IPA.
WHAT’S IN A NAME
India Pale Ale was first brewed in Britain, in the early 19th century. Its high alcohol content and increased hop count helped preserve the beer, making it an ideal candidate for export. It was first shipped to India, where it wreaked havoc in the flying carpet industry, prompting local authorities to ban this particular mode of transport altogether.

33cl can, partagée avec la BXL tasting crew, merci Pierre T. Dorée, léger orange, col épais blanc-cassé. Arôme au nez finement houblonné, fruité noble avec un rétro-nasal orienté sur les agrumes, léger fleuri, encore C hops, base de malt arrivant comme balance. Palais est léger mettant en avant un malté pâle pils à l’accent anglais. Houblonné plutôt modéré avec un ajout fin d’amertume complété par de fines pointes de fleuri et agrumes orientées vers le pamplemousse.

33cl can from Beer52.com. A very hazy amber pour with a loose white head; sweet tropical fruit aroma; dry piney taste to start, then some sweet mango giving a slightly cloying finish. Typical of modern American-style IPAs, but with nothing to make it stand out from the rest about from the novel wide-opening can.

Hazy orange beer, thin white head. Orangey hop flavour. Taste is grassy, zesty hop. Very dry. Tasty but there’s not a lot else to it, though the dry, slightly tart finish is pleasant too.

33cl can at the brewery on 19th Nov 2016. Golden with a weak white head. Just another citrusy flavoured hop centric IPA: it was fine but I am fed up with this type of beer, scored objectively.

Can. Hazy gold beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Light pale malts, a little dry and mildly sweet. Light pine. Bitterish orange, some pith and peel. Touch of spice. Light and fairly dry finish reveals a whisper of something tropical. Not bad.

Canned. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is zesty, some nectary notes along with mild pine, spruce and some sweet malts as well. Flavour is zesty, some tropical fruits, nice mellow but biting bitterness and some toffee as well. Nice and refreshing with a good balance of the stuff.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from the London Brewers Market in April 2016. Pours lightly hazy gold, somewhat effervescent, with a frothy, white head. Wow, this has a really lovely aroma, with soft tangerine, light pale malts, orange, hints of pine. Light-medium flavour with good and balanced supporting pale bread sugars, fairly juicy citrus, more tangerine, some peach, melon, mild piney and rindy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation and smooth texture. Finishes with just a hint of hop resin, along with more pale bread, biscuits, tangerine, orange, peach. Well, this really is quite good. It’s Kernelesque in its softness and drinkability, and almost even in its juiciness. Outstanding beer overall.
