Proper Job is an authentic IPA brewed with Cornish spring water and malt made from a blend of malts including Cornish grown Maris Otter barley.
Proper Job is dedicated to the 32nd (Cornwall) Regiment who stoutly defended their garrison during the Indian Mutiny in 1857-58. Throughout
the siege the traditional "Sunset Ceremony" (beating the retreat and lowering the national flag) was ignored as an act of defiance to the mutineers. In recognition of a "Proper Job" Queen Victoria awarded the 32nd the honour.

Cask at the Wharf, Aalborg. A clear, golden beer with a nice, white head. Hop-driven nose with citrus and peaches. Some malt in the background. The flavor is on the hoppy side too, with citrus-peel, peaches and grapefruit. There’s only a touch of malts. Fine bitterness towards the finish. Medium, quite dry mouthfeel. A quite nice beer that soon gets boring. (090205)

Blond color; creamy head. Nice hoppy aroma, citrusy. It has a quite good malt flavor, with a very good hopping, aromatic, citrusy, a bit resiny. Strong ending bitterness. Very good.

Hazy golden color. Nice grassy hops aroma. Quite weak mouthfeel, with some good malt flavor (dry) and a good hopping, grassy and citrusy, but more powerful than aromatic. The final is well bitter, but missing caramel or better hop oils. Pleasant.

From cask at Charlies. Pours cloudy orange wth a bubbly white head. Orange and towards grapefruity hops aroma. Very fruity hops flavoured, a bit flat even for a cask. Mild caramel malt base but dominantly orange/citrus fruity flavoured. Mild earthy touch, vague though. Bitter and fruity finish, quite dry into the far finish.
