The Island 1842 is an Imperial IPA designed for those who prefer a bold and powerful drink. Our goal with this beer was to coax out and showcase every nuance that our outsized malt and hop bill had to offer. This beer’s hop character is potent with additions in the first wort, constantly through the boil, at flameout and then generously during fermentation. In order to balance the strong hop profile, we built an appropriately robust malt backbone. The moment you pour Island 1842 into your snifter, expect a powerful nose of spicy, floral and zesty hops. The complexity of flavor will then continue to unfold with each sip and the flavor will linger on the palate.

看到IPA這個字便會令人聯想起芳香撲鼻的啤酒花,但1842 Island IPA除了鮮明銳利的酒花外,麥芽風味亦非常濃郁飽滿。澎湃的酒花麥芽味道配搭上豐盈的酒體,均衡地建立了悠長的餘韻。

Lots of citrus and grapefruit. Pours orange (I think) from the bottle but no idea on head. Bittersweet and boozy end. Some bitter herbal type aroma. Bottle in HK airport.

Nice big citrus notes. Clear gold with a decent white head. Citrus and light weedy notes with a juicy finish. Old school done well.

On tap at The Ale Project, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out rich piney and resinous hops, with gentle dankness. Flavour is dank, with oily resinous and piney hops galore, with just enough dry malt backbone. Beautiful hop profile here. This is an expertly done IIPA.
