An english-style IPA with earthy, herbal hop notes, well-balanced by bready malt.
Why does the world need another IPA? Because this one ain't like them others. We use hops of a different color, earth and herbal, well-balanced by bready malt. The result? An English-style IPA that separates itself from the ubiquitous bunch.

Bottle from beernavigator. 6 months til’ due. Nice, amber coulor, sligthly hazy, small white head. More malts than hops on the nose. Short bread, flowers. A bit oily in the mouth and the alcohol comes thru a bit. Sweet. UK hops, floral, dandelions, perfumes, soap, sticky resinous but not intense bitterness. Easter of an east coast IPA. Not really my cup of tea.

Bottle. Quite caramelly aroma. Not sweet as such, but a sort of roasted caramel. Clear amber colour. Small white head. The flavour is also roasted and caramelly, like the aroma. Good clean bitterness. Tastes more like a brown ale than English style IPA. But quite quaffable.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with airy white head. Clear aroma of malt and hops with a citrus note. Pleasant, bitter taste of hops but most of all malt with a caramel note. Dry finish. A good thing, without any IPA snobbery.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Pours a clear golden with a tiny white head. Some overripe fruit in the nose with a yeasty touch. Medium body, biscuity, a very dry fruitiness with an almost astringent bitterness. Massively bitter but not all that aromatic. 131112

Tap at the stagshead which once i decided not to hit the gym is where i found myself last wednesday. Pours orange with citrus hop nose. Tastes of honey, orange blossoms, bready, malt, and grapefruit. Pretty sweet for an ipa without the hop bitterness you may guess from the name

nose of honey, bready, some citrus. A bit weird too. Sweet, malty flavor, honey and sweet orange, not much in the hop department. somewhat syrupy and cloying. I don’t really get this. Ok, but not my thing.
