[375ml bottle; gift from my wife who got it from the brewery shop] Oddly (see Fin’s comment, I had this one just before the Lovibonds 69. Not convinced that being wrapped in a bit of paper justifed the price this was sold at, but as it was a gift I can’t complain! It pours a pale gingery amber colour with a large, lasting off-white head. Aggressive initial carbonation soon declines to leave a pleasantly resinous, decadent mouthfeel (still with a nice mouth-coating tingle) that seems suitably luxurious for a 30th Anniversary ale. The flavour is not quite up to the mouthfeel though - a farmyard taste at first with hints of pine and lemon coming through later, along with a vague herby mintiness. Nevertheless, it’s a decent effort, and I wish Chiltern all the best for the next 30 years!

Bottle that I bought from the Farmers Bar at The Kings Head, Aylesbury, Bucks, 31.12.10 consumed 02.01.11 I tried this straight after the Lovibonds 69 I suppose I was having a little UK IPA taste off. This was an altogether more subtle affair. The nose was dusty hops. Taste gets a little getting to know, its a stately rather reserved sort of IPA, it really took some time for the hops and flavour’s to come through, they eventually did with some lemony hops starting to leave a buzzy bitterness in the mouth. I liked it but it just wasn’t as good as the Lovibonds 69 IPA. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5
