We were considering the future of our traditional Mild, with its lower ABV, when Dr Mike came up with this new recipe for Manx Pale Ale. Against the grain of ever-higher ABV ales, our MPA has proven so popular that it is a firm feature in our Permanent listing. Which just goes to show - you can never underestimate the pure appeal of great taste.
A very light Gold Colour. Aromas of tropical fruit, mango, passion fruit and papaya. Initially sweet flavours of passion fruit and peach leading to an intense dry hop finish
Ingredients: Pale Ale Malt 1) Goldings Galaxy 2) Galaxy 3) Citra.

[August 2022] Clear gold with a creamy/frothy white head. Fruity nose, maybe peach and apricot? Some biscuit malt, gives it a slightly grainy mouthfeel, more of that fruit and a lovely soft bitterness

500ml bottle shared with blackhaddock in his beer cave. Pours clear gold, good white head. A touch musty on the nose, but then it is a bit out of date.. mild caramelised malt.. bitter close.. ok overall.

My first IOM beer. Rocky white head left a froth on an amber coloured slowly carbonating body. Zesty citrus & caramel aroma. Medium bodied, lightly carbonated with a soft back. Citrus, pithy, grapefruit & tangy tastes with a malt backbone. That's really tasty.
