Brewed to celebrate Cotleigh’s 35th Anniversary (1979-2014). The aroma is a medley of summer fruits emanating from the New Zealand Motueka hops and the taste is a zesty hop punch that you would expect from a traditional IPA.

Bottle from Cooperative Supermarket, Mine head, simply called Cotleigh IPA. Golden with a small head. Dryish but notably bitter in design.

500ml bottle. Poured a clear medium amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is big biscuit malt, tropical fruit hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light crisp dry woody resin floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Bottle as Cotleight IPA (at 4% ABV) from a local Aldi store. BBE Sep 2018, poured at home into a UK pinr sleeve on 19th July 2017. Golden amber in colour, cream coloured head. Over chilled, so not much aroma until it began to warm a little in the glass, light citrusy fruit esters did arrive though. Hoppy taste with both piney and citrusy peel like flavours: liked it.

500ml bottle from Aldi - Clear amber, small white head. Nose is citrus and pine, grassy and grainy. Taste has a bit of punch about it, some citrus kick. Decent enough.

Handpull cask at the Alexandra Arms, Cambridge. I have to say that it’s an alarming bright golden orange colour. Slightly hazy with a small white head and lots of lacing. The aroma is light with notes of sulphur and fleshy apricot. Taste is only briefly sweet before it’s overcome with punchy bittering hop. Long bitter finish with some astringency in the end. Hard citrus and TCP in the aftertaste. It’s a rough little bird, and maybe calling it a Session IPA is a bit of a stretch. However, I like it. I’d even have another one if I wasn’t in full ticking mode.

50cl bottle from Aldi, Bracknell, ABV 4.0%. A golden amber pour with a loose white head; fruity aroma; rich malty taste with some caramel and an earthy bitterness; before a drier finish. Pleasant enough, but nothing earth shattering.

Bottle. Aldi. 4.0%. First impressions suggest this is definitely not a session IPA. This is as golde as it gets, in fact. Amber gold, with some haze. Frothy, blotchy, white head. Nose has cereal. Cold tea. Some grassy notes. A bit buttery and cakey. Taste is light, grassy bitter. Light body, feeling a bit slick. Light bitter finish. Ok.

Bottle from Aldi and drunk at home. Clear orange amber colour with a lasting beige head. Some malt flavour, then some light citrus fruit. OK. Entertaining bitter, kept me interested whilst I drank it. Some decent hop finish that lasted for some time. Good malt.
