An Imperial IPA with twice the hops of a regular IPA, beautifully balanced by the strength and body, a beer with immense character and fulsome flavours.

Can from Morrisons Supermarket, Skipton. Golden-amber with a small head. Its strength is evident, but its strong pale ale texture and taste subdues this well enough to allow a fair amount of character through. Dryish, good aroma.

Can. Morrison’s. Clear, amber colour. Decent off white head. Nose has stewed hop. Caramelised malts. Gravy. Holy shit, this stinks. Taste is sweet and earthy, dirty bitter. Horribly oily and greasy mouthfeel. Low carbonation. Burnt toffee bitter finish. Jesus, this is bad.

Can from Rheged. Appearance - closer to amber than gold. Nose - orange and a bit cakey. Taste - dried fruit, particularly orange. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - nice one.
