After a particularly boisterous day at the races in 1837, legendary rabble rouser the Marquess of Waterford and his party descended on our market town and literally painted the town red. Inspired by that notorious spree through Melton, this delicious West Coast IPA is a riot of hoppy goodness and character, crafted to quench your thirst and quicken the spirit.

Can from Honest Brew. Pours cloudy deep-gold, white head which leaves a little lacing. Aroma of grass, malt, tangerine, grapefruit. Juicy fruits come through, quite sweet, with a reasonable malt background. Moderate body and soft carbonation. A dry bitterness is evident at the end which lasts but not convinced the balance is quite right in the finish. The malt does not take a 'back seat' as per the description, particularly in terms of an American IPA. Flawed but still decent.

Can picked up from Hoptimism Webshop, Loughborough, Leicestershire and consumed at Camping Resort Zugspitze, Grainau, Thursday 11th June 2020. Pours amber good clarity, fruity, hoppy and bitter, could be a good west coast IPA however a little bit of diacetyl rather tarnishing the overall impression.

Tight creamy tan head on a reddish brown still body. Bubble gum & fruity aroma. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated over the tongue with cloying back. Pine, pith, resin, grapefruit, malt, tangy bitterness & stewed fruit tastes with clean tasting finish. Refreshing & decent interpretation of the style.

Can, a gift from a mate. Malty aroma with a dose of resin. Brown orange. Thick foamy white head. Medium bitter. A tangy marmalade citrus edge. Underlying malts. Medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Dry slightly astringent finish. Enjoyable IPA without requiring juice or haze.

Can from Honest Brew. Clear golden body with an off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of white sugar and tinned orange. Flavour of sugared orange and caramel. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. Sweet and sugary. It’s just ok.

Can at BrewDog Leicester. Dark gold, clear with a ring of white head. Gummy resinous aroma with pine and papaya. Bittersweet taste with lots of piney hop. It's intense without being OTT. Some medicinal flavours nearer the finish. Heavy carbonation. Not a world beater but a very nice IPA.
