Traditional IPA (not USA style). Our best seller, this bottle conditioned, hopped IPA is intensely floral, with wine-like tannin and hop resins to the fore. However, allowed to ‘age’ and the tannin will almost disappear with the floral hop being replaced by a more subtle spicy character. Natural carbonation will develop and the beer will pour with a champagne like sparkle.

Bottle from Beers of Europe, online. Pours a clear dark gold, small foamy soap-sud white head, some retention. Aroma of biscuit malts, flora, orange zest and grass. Taste has a floral resinous quality to it but to be fair has some fruitiness and citrus zest, light toastiness in the finish. Fairly bitter throughout. Nice fairly slick medium bodied mouthfeel with a fine carbonation. Good.

Cask pour at Shelter DC pours a murky, burnt orange with a cap of just off white head. Fizzy carb. Nose has orange peel and noble hop, malt and a little cracker. A touch of potpourri. Flavor took a minute to grow on me. Felt a little stale but as it warmed, some of the sweetness of the malt came out. Malt is there with some treacle, soap and orange rind. Finishes off dry. Bitter.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - golden with nice lacing. Nose - orange, floral and bready. Taste - citrus and flowers again. Palate - light to medium bodied. Dry and balanced bitterness through middle and finish. Overall - more of an English IPA we reckoned. Will take the ESB rate though.
