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.

Bardzo fajne, udana Angielska IPA. zywiczne chmielne, a zarazem delikatne, nieco przyprawowe. Jasno zlote z drobinkami nieaktywnych drozdzy. Piana srednia ale lepi sie do szkla jak mucha do lepa Brosa. Goryczkowe, wytrawne i pozostawia przyprawowa goryczke na podniebieniu. Udane.

500ml bottle. 5.5%. Gluten Free. Golden colour, white foam head leaving lacing and malty grainy hoppy aroma. Taste is malt caramel, fruity yeasty with some floral citric hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry earthy bitter finish. Quite OK.

Bottle from Lidl I believe. ...and actually has doubts about this being IPA. In aroma I catch more alcohol that I would like to especially considering voltage. Tastes bitter and hoppy enough but again I'm lacking citruses and all the lovely part I love in IPAs. Not impressed

This pours from 500ml bottle a clear and bright yellow gold with a 1 finger head of foam. It turns cloudy with the second pour. Hey, it's bottle conditioned. Btw, very good head retention.
The smell has a lot of sweet malt on the nose along with some fruit. Very nice. Oh, and there's a touch of citrus peeking its way through.
The taste is yummy! English IPA? You bet and the difference from most American IPAs is in your face right off the bat! Sweet malt dominates the initial taste but I also find it very fruity and then there's some bready notes and a good lemony hop kick to balance things out. I really like how the hops and malt interact with each other here...overall light sweetness and light bitterness. Makes for a perfect balance and I could drink a lot of this as the abv makes it very sessionable.
The mouthfeel is kind of light but works, the carbonation is also light, and it finishes with a lemon hop flavour that is fairly long lasting. Very tasty and very refreshing, and I'd guess, at least fairly fresh. I'm guessing because I can't make heads or tails out of the code on the bottle: F9 039. I'll buy this again, no problem!
Cost: US$4.99

Ein IPA aus dessen Heimatland. Auf der Insel war das IPA ja mehr bekannt, bevor es als cooles Bier den Kontinent eroberte. Dies ist so ein altmodisches IPA, das aber auch schon die klassichen Aromen nach Hopfenbittere hat. Ein netter, vollmundiger Geschmack, der aber etwas langweilig wird, wenn man länger trinkt.
