India Pale Ales (IPAs) of old were heavily hopped to survive their journey to the colonies. This is Rob’s interpretation - believing the hops may have mellowed by arrival.

Malts: Maris Otter, Best Pale, Wheat

Cask. Clear golden color with creamy white head. Aroma is grassy, a touch toothpaste, mild malts. Taste is soft grapefruit, grassy, herbal hops, again a touch toothpaste, nice cookie malt base. Very soft oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Good!

Golden color. Lots of apricots, slightly malty nose. The body is more balanced with good hop presence. Decent

Smell of hops. Hazy amber colour, white head. Aroma of malt, some hops, a bit of grass. Mostly a pale ale if you ask me, not IPA or APA. Mildly bitter. Half flat carbon. Quite unimpressive.

From bottle at OSB påslutning at TO's 16.09.17. Clear orange golden. Off-white head. Aroma of fruits and pale malt. Similar taste, with evident hops and bitterness. More like a golden ale than an IPA.
