Conviction IPA is our flagship beer. Brewed with the finest British and American hops and weighing in at a sizable 120 IBU this amber IPA is designed to leave an impression. A deep amber pour and the aromatic equivalent of a fruit salad to the face. We believe rules are made to be broken and this beer does just that!

500ml bottle from Scottish Beer Shop. Clear deep orange-brown amber colour, foamy off-white head leaving some lacing and aroma of tropical fruits, mamalade, citrus & pine, hops. Taste is earthy malt caramel with orange, grapefruit & woody hop bitterness. Slightly oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft to medium carbonation, very drying bitter finish. Quite drinkable IPA.

Bottle from Appellation Wines, Dalry. Amber pour with small, short-lived head. Grapefruit on the nose, and floral notes. Good malt backbone, if a little thin. Doesn?t taste as bitter as 120IBU, slightly sweet finish.

Tasting at ChrisO’s. Light haze on this amber beer, small pale tan-cream coloured head. Palate is light and dry. Sweet malt, touch of paper. Decent citric and marmalade hops. Little pine. Light dry finish with good hop bitterness.

50cl bottle from Appellation Wines. Pours amber with a nicely proportioned head. The nose is mainly of elderflower with a little lemon zest. The taste has more elderflower, and some creamy grapefruit pith. The palate is light to medium in body with a creamy texture and a long and very bitter finish. Overall, I like this and wouldn’t expect to enjoy it quite so much given the bitterness. However, there is just enough creaminess on the palate to keep the drinkability.

Aroma: Dry dusty hop aroma. Fruit and herb notes.
Appearance: Clear amber body with a small off-white head. Lively carbonation. Light lacing marks.
Taste: Malty toffee flavour with white pepper and restrained citrus and mango notes. Very bitter.
Palate: Thin body with an oily texture. Average carbonation fizz.
Overall: Quite unusual but pretty tasty. I agree with a previous review that this is more of a British style IPA than an American-style, ultra hoppy IPA.
