Brewster’s India Pale Ale is an intensely hopped beer brewed with a blend of roasted malts for a complex malty flavour. Hopped with lots of lovely pungent American hops. On taste it has a massive hop aroma leading on to reveal a wonderful fruity bitterness on the finish. Contains malted barley.

440ml can at the William Wygston (JDW), Wigston. Bright brownish orange, clear with a full off-white head. Aroma of marmalade, caramel, iced tea, spiced orange. Taste is... whoa. Way, way, way too sweet. However as I drink I get used to it and find notes of toffee and pine, maybe a little cinnamon. Ooh, this is too weird to be good. It's one of those 'craft' beers that trad brewers do, often coming off badly. Brewsters have good beers. This isn't one of them although I've had worse.

Can at the Foot of the Walk. Pours clear golden amber with a thick white head. Aromas of citrus, pine and faint caramel. Taste adds some brown bread. Light bitter finish. OK.

Can in my local Wetherspoon outlet, 26th April 2023. Light haze to the golden/orange body, white affair on top. Piney nose with a slight citrus twist, taste is hop forward on a decent malty base, semi-dry hop finish.

Nice looking hazed orange gold with a frothy white head and a citrus fruit (seville orange?) and subtle pine aroma. Light to medium bodied, a little over-carbonated, but a lovely balance of citrus fruit and light malt with a soft piney bitterness

440ml can bought at The Real Ale Store. Shared with Finn. Filmy layer, clingy lacing, hazy orange coloured body. Promising smell of ripe fruits and earthy malts. Malt-fruity flavours, leafy hops and grainy malts. A welcome twist of resinous bitterness to the ending. Fine depth. Pretty nice. (Hotel room, Hereford 16.10.2022).

Delt med Rune på rom 9, Premier Inn Hereford. Gylden. Klar. Lavt kremaktig skum som blir film. Aroma av fruktsalat. Smaken tørket tropisk frukt. Tørr fruktig bitter avslutning.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2017. Clear mid brown beer slight haze lasting cream head. Pine resin grapefruit aroma. Good ipa in the mouth continues the resin grapefruit flavour some caramel. Some bitterness on the finish. decent. Considering i am not in a beer mood actually its very good and would be better a few degrees colder.
