Our Lerwick IPA takes a traditional style of beer brewed with modern techniques to produce a flavour sensation. On the nose there is immediately the fruity American Cascade Hops followed by malty caramel sweetness. These complex notes follows through to the palate where the beautiful balance of this 5% India Pale Ale really shines, finishing with citrus bitterness.

Bottle from a Morrisons in Glasgow. copper in colour, with a decent, off-white, head. Easy drinking, with some solid malts, and hedgerow fruits, before a pleasantly bitter finish. Good.

Bottle from Beer52. Amber with a moderate fizz and thin off-white head. Toffee, earth, light lemon and a little metal. Pretty standard stuff.

Level 42 Bottleshare and no Mark King in sight. Thanks to Wingman. Clear gold - amber beer, patchy white head. Palate is light and semi dry with reasonable carbonation. Light malts bring a very modest sweetness. A generic fruity hop here, a touch of something Sorachi like rising up. Light dry finish brings very mild bitterness. Tame but inoffensive.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Dave. Pours clear copper with a creamy head. Toasted crackers in the nose, a little caramel, aged pine. Light-medium sweet flavour with more piney hops, orange rind, toasted caramel. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with a little resin, more toasted crackers, earth, rind. So so.

Bottle thanks to Dave at level 42. It pours clear amber with a medium off-white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, loads of toffee, oily, tinned fruits and bread. The aroma is bitter - sweet, oily orange, tore, brown bread, leather, spicy, chewy malt and varnish with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A bit malty... Meh.

33cl bottle from Beer52.com. A bright amber pour with a thin scummy-looking white head; some lime aromas; rather thin in the mouth with some tropical fruits to start, then a biscuity malt body; and some citrus flavours to finish. A rather half-hearted attempt at an American style IPA, but pleasantly drinkable.
