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.

500 ml bottle, thanks to my beerpal Olav who brought it home from the Orkneys. ABV is 4.8%. Golden colour, big white head. Nice aroma of fruity and herbal hops, notes of tropical fruits, hints of pine. Light bodied, fairly dry. The flavour has fruity and herbal hops throughout, but the bitterness is fairly moderate. "Dusty" finish, long aftertaste.
