Said to be hoppier than a hopping mad hopi, our rather good Doctor Okell's takes the 200 year old tradition of the strong India Pale Ale to its ultimate, thanks to one of Dr Mike's finest brewing moments...
Doctor Okell's is an extremely light coloured beer with a surprising full bodied taste. The sweetness is offset by a very strong hopping rate. That gives the finished beer an over all roundness with very spicy lemony notes and a fine dry finish to counteract the initial sweetness.
Ingredients: All pale ale malt, hops, 1st Fuggles and First Gold, 2nd Hallertau and Saaz, 3rd Cascade and Styrian Goldings.

Bottled. A hazy light golden beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is sweet with spicy notes of hops as well as some grainy malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of crisp malt, and hops giving it notes of spices and elderflowers, the hops are almost chewy, leading to a quite bitter finish.

Bottle: A bit unclear, golden, smaller, stable off-white head; distinctive flowery hoppy aromas cover a fruity-grainy, almost a bit toasty background; moderate to solid dry bitter flavour, light bodied; flowery-citrousy hops in the light dry bitter flavour. Not earth-shaking, but a good one............

Bottle. Looks like a pale lager. Malty aroma. Tastes exactly as expected for an english IPA/ bitter.

Lightly hazy crisp golden coloured body with a thinnish white head and a bunch of bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of hay, lemons, limes, yeast and coriander seed - more of a trip or a belgie than an IPA. Light-bodied; Sharp citrus flavour up front with a touch of hops and a bit more yeast following. Aftertaste shows sharp hops, a little malt and some more lemons - interesting! Overall, more of a light wheat or a mild belgian ale than a bitter or IPA, but even there, it’s a bit underflavoured. I sampled this 500 mL bottle purchased from the Utobeer Market Stall in Borough, London, England on 13-December-2008, sampled at home in Washington on 26-January-2009.

500 ml bottle, bought at ICA Middelthon, Stavanger. ABV is 4.5%. Golden colour, big white head. Fairly strong aroma of hops, first flowery, then more citrussy and lightly spicy. The flavour is distinctly hoppy throughout, with grapefruity notes, and has just enough malts to balance it. Pleasant (if somewhat sharp) bitterness in the finish and aftertaste. I don’t know which variety(ies) of hops they have used here - possibly Progress? A nice and refreshing ale this one - will buy again.

A 500ml bottle of Celtic ale from Isle of Man bought at Centra Colosseum Park in Oslo. Golden body under a huge, dense white head. Display of good glass-lacing. Inviting aroma of fruit-oily hops. Modest fruity flavour with grapefruit and lemon. Ends up with a soft bitter twist [hotel room, Thon Munch, Oslo 22.01.2009].

Big offwhite head quickly grows coarse and then shrinks. Golden body. Fruity slightly medicinal hoppy aroma with floral notes. Dryish fruity floral hoppy taste with resiny notes. Light body. Smooth mouthfeel. Dryish floral resiny aftertaste with pea notes. Quite good, but low on taste. (0.5l bottle, Centra, Oslo.)

Bottle at The Cockney Pub, Århus
Golden color, big bubbles, persistent head, of medium size. The aroma shows some nice cereals. The flavor has a strong dry toffee flavor, with strong bitterness; long final. A reasonable Golden Ale, nothing impressive here.

Bottle, Shamesburys, Upton. Poured a clear straw gold, with a fairly small white head. Nice hoppy and grapefruit aroma. Fresh, clean taste with the same characteristics as the aroma and a lingering dry hoppy bitter finish. Nicely balanced and pretty tasty. Went a treat with a quarter of crispy duck and pancakes.
