Hand-pulled half-pint in The Fighting Cocks, Oakengates on 3rd Oct 2013. Bright, pale golden brew with a white covering of thin foam. Not as hop bitter as I was expecting, nor as citrusy either. This was a pleasant surprise: I’m not a big Oakham fan to be honest, however I really enjoyed this. The hops rule, but they don’t kill the malt content or take over completely like a lot of Oakham brews tend to do in my eyes. This wasn’t sweet, but there were some fruity notes leading that way at times and I nearly had another half, to confirm my thoughts, but the wife had a swig of my beer and she agreed with me about the semi-sweetness that became evident as the beer warmed a little in the glass.

Bright clear gold beer, tidy white head. Smooth palate, fresh and a little dry. Light malt base. Fabulous hop fruits here. Hardly any bitterness. Piney sweetness. Loads of tropical fruits. Mango dominates but there is orange, pineapple and melon too. All sorts of other fruits well buried. Finishes semi dry. Superb!

Cask, half pint at North Bar. Filmy layer blanketing the glassware. Bright golden body colour. Dried fruity nose with apricot to the fore. Grapefruit and orange flavours promoting a mild marmalade impression. Mid-dry bitter tail. Medium bodied. Well-made Brit IPA (Leeds 01.07.2013).

Cask at the Beacon Hotel, Sedgely. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is hoppy with citrus fruit. The flavour is grassy nettle hop bitter with some spicy pepper and liqourice on the palate. It’s a rather rich beer with loads of complex flavours. A winner from Oakham.

Bottled, 0.66l. Slightly hazy golden color with medium frothy white head and lively bubbles. Aroma of spicy hops, tropical fruits like lychee and passion fruit plus some biscuity malt. Taste starts swet malty and fruity, while followed by tart citrus notes. Mouthfeel is crisp and mild spicy, finish is strong bitter which quickly becomes into bloody harsh hoppiness. Full body, thick texture and average carbonation in palate. Green hoppy devil takes care for my grimacing :)

Pours amber with a quickly fading head.Nose shows floral hops, orange and marmalade, soft light malt and earthy hops.Very floral flavours, big distinct lavender notes. Crazily prominent lavender! Also some clean malt followed by an assertive bitterness. A bit astringent.Body feels thick.

Bottle from Beers of Europe, King’s Lynn
Hazy deep blond color with medium sized head. Wonderful aroma, full of citrusy hops and with a typical English, earthy touch, and sweat. The mouthfeel is very lean, and dry; elegant toffee flavor, light; strong bitterness, expected, with citrusy notes, orange peel, and light papery end; long final. No caramel and no residual sweetness. The hopping seems more complex than just Citra, maybe because of the yeast.
Excellent American IPA, very clean but still with a British touch.

Gravity dispense at Merton Winter BF ’13. Clear light golden with a medium sized bubbly white head. Nose is fresh hops, grapefruit, mango, pine, lemons, apricot jam. Taste comprises grapefruit, pine, orange, hops, light mineral notes, grass. Medium body with moderate carbonation, bitterness in the finish. Great fresh tasting IPA - had sunk a few pints of this in the past and had been looking forward to catching up on this particular one for the rate !

Bottle, 11C. Clear pale gold with a white head that’s soon less than a coat. Intense lemon aroma with some leaves as well as zest, passionfruit and dusty mango, hay. Slightly oily. A little clean pale malt and some tropical fruit sweetness, plenty of bitterness. Tingling dry and bitter finish with pepper, lemon and mango. Just enough to back up the hops and they certainly shine.
