Said to be hoppier than a hopping mad hopi, our rather good Doctor Okell's takes the 200 year old tradition of the strong India Pale Ale to its ultimate, thanks to one of Dr Mike's finest brewing moments...
Doctor Okell's is an extremely light coloured beer with a surprising full bodied taste. The sweetness is offset by a very strong hopping rate. That gives the finished beer an over all roundness with very spicy lemony notes and a fine dry finish to counteract the initial sweetness.
Ingredients: All pale ale malt, hops, 1st Fuggles and First Gold, 2nd Hallertau and Saaz, 3rd Cascade and Styrian Goldings.

Gravity dispense at the Miners’ Arms Summer Beer Festival, St Werburghs Bristol 6/8/07. Golden colour with a minimal head. Sweet malt aroma with a touch of spicy hops. Flavour started sweet with a grassy hop finish. Not bad.

Cask handpull at Cherry Tree, Haddenham. Pale copper colour with lasting off white head. Smoke/earthy orange citrus hop aroma, some yeast, but the aroma is about the tangerine/orange earthy hop. Reasonable fullness in mouth, some sweet juicy malt. Nice swallow with more orange tangerine/clementine. Some hop on end. Some dryness, more fruit on finish. Pleasant easy drinking bitter.

My local brewpub bought a hand pump and I had an opportunity to sample their first pint. This one was familiar before bottled, so it was quite exciting to taste. Color was pale yellow-orange, suprisinginly firm white head. Fresh flowery nose. Hoppy, flowery, citric. Good hoppy aftertaste. Enjoyable IPA.
