At 50 EBU this IPA is far more bitter than one would normally expect at 6%, but we believe in serious hopping at Freeminer. Pale in colour, with hints of sunset browns in the colour betraying the splash of crystal malts, the single varietal dosing of premium Goldings cuts into the tour de force of serious Marris Otter malts at play with the taste buds. The prolonged dry hopping is very evident in the nose and finish.

Slightly hazy copper colour with a dense soapy tall off-white head. Aroma of slightly roasted malt, bubble gum and a slight english hoppiness. Medium to Full-bodied; Sweet tastes entralled in potent hoppiness that lasts for quite a while. Aftertaste bittered from the hops, but not overly so. Overall, a good english-styled IPA-owrth trying if you can find it! I bought this 16 ounce bottle at Chevy Chase Wine & Liquor in Washington and sampled it on 30-November-2003.

A lighter interpretation, a bit yeasty, perhaps muddled a bit in terms of what it is trying to accomplish. Saved by the wonderful Maris Otter flavours.
