This classic English style beer has a rich caramel color. It has a more complex bitterness than that of the other beers; however it does remain soft and flavorful. Our blend of four hops comes through as grapefruit or citrus notes in the flavour. In order to balance out the extra addition of hops, the body is richer, fuller and sweeter. There are definitely caramel notes prevalent along with a degree of toffee and toastiness. IPA's came about because of a need to keep beer from spoiling during the long voyage from Britain to India. This was accomplished through the addition of hops, which produce a higher alcohol content therby preserving the beer.

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8
Had a pint on tap as well as from cask. Pint arrived with a small size light hazelnut colour head and sticks around for a bit. Has an amber colour appearance. Thick lacing. Aromas are quite faint in my opinion. Some citrus notes with lighter type malts. Flavours are quite hoppy, floral hops along with light roasted malts. Hints of cinnamon. Sweeter than usual IPA's, with the toasted caramel being added to the mix. Has a creamy full bodied mouthfeel and has medium carbonation. Enjoyed immensely! Also on cask, this one has much more malty flavours and more of a wet mouthfeel. Nutty flavours. Unfiltered. Appearance a bit darker than their normal IPA. Still pretty good, and slightly different.

Tried this beer on tap and on cask tonight at the Glebe brewpub with PaleAleRider. Pours a dark amber colour with a creamy light beige head that has great retention and thick patchy lace. Smells like their typical grain malt, but with some caramel and mild hops. Slightly creamy mouthfeel because of the everlasting head. Nice dryness in the finish, but not too crazy. Perfumy malt taste with sweet caramel and the grapefruit hop kicking in the finish. Decent bitterness with an above average strength. Notes of nuts. Seems like more roasted malts than most IPA, but ends up balancing the hop very well. CASK: Unfiltered, smaller foamy head, wet mouthfeel. Fruity malt at first. Bitterness takes a long time to kick in. Nuttier finish. More flavours. More aromas of dark fruits, nut, coffee and roasted malt. Less bitterness. Interesting to try both, side-by-side.
