Downton Brewery Chimera IPA is a truly classic IPA bursting with resinous hoppy flavours that packs quite a punch - justas a traditional IPA should. Refreshing for the summer, yet strong enough to be warming in the winter;brewed with a hugely increased hop rate for a strong, floral aroma, and a powerful, bitter taste.

19th Oct 2018; half-pint, gravity pour at the 4th CAMRA beer festival in Shifnal, Shropshire. Golden body, white affair on top. Hop and bitter from start to finish, malts playing second fiddle; light floral aroma and flavours help to calm the bitterness down a little: Nice.

Il gusto al naso incontra il luppolo ed il limone. L’intensità olfattiva è elevata e la persistenza olfattiva è notevole. Il cappello di schiuma ha una scarsa tenuta La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine e la carbonazione è media. La consistenza del liquido è limpida. Il perlage è costituito da poche bollicine fini spinte all’insù da una carbonazione morbida. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è strutturato. L’amaro è deciso. L’intensità gustativa è elevata e la persistenza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevolissimo. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono luppolate per una "buona birra". Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. L’aroma in bocca riporta sentori di miele, frutta secca, resina, agrumi, erbe aromatiche, pompelmo, limone e cedro. L’alcol sappiamo che c’è, ma non è per nulla invasivo.
