“A memorable and deceptively easy drinking IPA.This is an authentic recreation of the beer style created for and enjoyed throughout the Empire.Goldings,Fuggles and American Cascade hops combine to give a crisp citrus hop aroma,with a balanced, bittersweet finish.”That’s what is written on the bottle.I had this at the weekend and at 5.7% is a pretty strong beer,although when tasted you wouldn’t think it.When poured it’s clear and golden with a slightly off white head.Aroma is lightly hoppy,perhaps more of a lager smell with a hint of citrus.The taste is not quite IPA enough for me,hinting towards a bitter,easy drinking beer from Marstons brewery.Purchased from Morissons for just £1.25 (500ml).I would rate this as more of a winter beer,it had that feel of drinking in front of a roaring fire in a country pub.Overall an easy drinking, strong IPA,but nothing exciting about it to score it highly.3/5.
