A copper coloured East India Pale Ale, with resinous, hoppy qualities and floral hints, balanced well with malted sweetness. The EIPA historically brewed for the British Colonial troops in India. We brew this beer to 5.56% ABV, a very specific gravity and also the calibre of the Small Arms rifle used in the British Army (5.56mm) – a subtle nod to Tomʼs military career.

Can@The Railway, Streatham, London (27062019) - almost clear golden pour with a white head. Medium sweet fruity with notes of orange and lemon, grapefruit, touch of melon, sweet malty support, light resinous hoppy bitter finish. Seems like Inkspot has tweaked this somewhat to previous reviews now they setup in their new brewery. Not bad. Also ratebeer location is buggered again, not able to choose Railway Streatham so wants me to chose Railway in Lincoln instead and now wont let me change it. Sort it out RB!

Bottle, received as an extra, in a trade with Leighton. He’s a generous lad, that lad. Cloudy gold. Huge, suspect, off white head. There is a sourness on the nose, too. Some biscuit malts, at a push. Taste is tart, and bitter. Lots of fizz. Finishes tart and bitter. I’d hope this is infected, because if not, it’s a pretty grim do.

The Travlr tasting at ChrisO’s. Thanks to Gene for all the beers and Chris for hosting. Clear gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Light malts, mildly sweet. Little honey in the bready malts. Touch of marmalade. Light finish. Fine.

Light-medium sweet flavor with some smokey grains, citrus rind, minerals, straw. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with light sweetness, smoke and stones, grains. Meh.

Bottle from BOB Wines, C. Palace. It pours clear amber with medium, foamy white head. The nose is toasty, brown bread, biscuit, earthy hops and marshmallow. The taste is bitter, woody, resinous, leather, floral, pithy citrus, pepper, brioche and earth with a pretty dry finish. Medium body and moderate not exactly an IPA, more like a highly hopped ESB or sumtin. Solid stuff anyhow.
