A pale strong ale. A complex and sophisticated IPA, using assertive American hops.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2010. Clear gold. Decent. Sherberty hop. Fairly typical UK strong golden beer with US hops. Decent, tasty, good hops. OK condition. Fine. Just lacks sparkle.

Cask, handpump at The Silkmill, Derby 30-01-10 in company of Loz, Simon (Haddonsman) my dad and Pauline I understand from reading some local CAMRA publications that relatively new beer has already won an award in the strong bitter category at a recent East Midlands Festival so I was keen to try this as the Blue Monkey Beers I’ve tried so far have been lovely. Pours warm gold edging towards a very light amber difficult to be precise in the light of this pub. Some pleasant mineral type flavours on the tongue, with a good smattering of tingly hoppiness, its clean, very, very drinkable and another belter from Blue Monkey. A7 A5 F7 P4 Ov14 3.7
