Summer in a glass, the Blood Orange IPA really delivers. This IPA was made specially for Middlesbroughs renowned Orange Pip market. Rammed with Blood Orange this dry IPA delivers puckering bitterness, gentle hop aroma and a moreish aftertaste. Its a summer winner and is going down extremely well.

Malted Barley CaraMalt and Wheat Hops Cascade, Bavaria Mandarina. Additional ingredients Blood Orange.

Can. Oi! McColl's, if you are brewing a 4.2% beer then it's not a fucking IPA is it? So don't fucking label your can as something it ain't! Almost clear gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Light and slightly soft palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft malts, some sweetness. Soap, bitterish. Some citrus. Little bitterness on the semi dry finish. Oversold and underbrewed. Shite!

Taste is pale malt, light caramel with zesty citrus, orange, grapefruit, and hoppy earthy bitterness. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.
