Originally our 5th anniversary brew. VIPA is a strong pale ale, balancing exotic fruit character with a modern British hop aroma. Brewed with British and European malts, Cheshire honey, and hopped with Bramling Cross and UK Cascade.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a golden orange with a small white head. There’s oranges and summer fruits in the nose. @In the mouth it is sweet at first with honey and tangerines. Floral hops come through later plus some lemon, cookie biscuit and hints of pepper. Finish is bitter sweet and slightly dry. A bit unusual for an IPA, but rather nice. Hides its strength very well.

500ml bottle from Booth's supermarket in Knutsford; shared with my wife during a random tasting session at home on 29th June 2018. Light golden body, white head. Mild citrus notes in both the hoppy nose and taste, nice blend with a good malty backbone for the hops to play along.

20th February 2015 Bright clear gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Light and sweetish malts, a little milky sweetness. Somewhat aged tasting tangy hops, a trace of spicy orange, but overall mildly woody. Light finish. Okay but feels pretty tired. 2.9

GBBF Day 2. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft pale malts, quite sweet. Nice smooth floral citrus. A quite well rounded beer that goes down easy.
