Recreated using a Californian yeast strain, pale ale malted barley, along with some Munich malt, Crystal malt and malted wheat. This will provide the biscuity backdrop to the big American hops. A blend of five American hops gives our beer a deep citrus bitterness with a fragrant citrus/floral aroma.

50cl bottle of Marks and Spencer Southwold Summer IPA. A bright copper colour with a thin white head; tropical fruit aroma; big tropical fruit taste, with a light spicy bitterness; and a pleasant, soft, warming finish with a lingering grapefruit taste. This goes to show that the Brits can produce a good American-style IPA.

As Marks and spencer summer ipa. Malty aroma, bicuit and caramel, a touch oxidation. Earthy resin hop in the aroma as well. Hazy light amber colour dense creamy head, that fades to a whisp. Flavour is earthy bitterness, slight chalk, a little boozy. Medium body, average carbonation. Not a fan.

Bottle at Jack’s Sausage Festival - London. Labeled as Marks and Spencer Southwold Summer IPA. Decent beer all around. Pours clear gold with a large, frothy white head. Some bready pale malts mucking about, some tasty citrus, orange, light lemon merengue, moderate bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly resinous to finish, some further orange citrus notes, lightly toasted pale malts. Very drinkable for the ABV. Nice.

[500ml bottle from Beers of Europe] Pours an orangey-amber with a moderate lasting beige head and a medium fizz. Good rich mouthfeel. Orange and the lovely sweet bready Adnams malt up front. Gingery spice comes through, followed by pine and lime and a little hint of tropical fruit. A mild grapefruit finish finishes it off. A typically tasty yet balanced and satisfying effort from Adnams, which shows that malt can pay a great role in a hop-lead beer. Well done!

Aroma: Caramel, toffee apple and pine domintes, but there’s a hint of citrus (green apples?)
Appearance: Hazy, amber body with a huge, lasting beige head. Very light carbonation. Lots of sticky lacing.
Taste: Tastes a little fruitier than the aroma suggests - some lychee and apricot. Subtle nutty flavour. Sweet caramel with a reasonably bitter, bitter finish. The 6.8% ABV is pretty well hidden.
Palate: Medium body with a silky smooth, oily texture. Gentle carbonation.
Overall: Beautifully balanced and conditioned. Would have liked it a bit hoppier, but I was pleasantly surprised by this. Quite malty for an American IPA.

Chelmsford Winter Fest. Clear amber beer. A little orangey hop on the nose. Well bugger me! This actually tastes like an IPA! Grassy hops, very lightly spicy. Fresh tangerine - orange and a little pine. Minerally hop finish. Pretty decent IPA!

50 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, BBE 15.04.2013
Aroma is fruity with some hay and peach. Also some sweet toffee. Flavour is somewhat hoppy with peach, some apricot, toffee and hints of hay. Somewhere between British and American, but closer to American anyway.
