When
I upended my bottle, I found a swampy orange-brown product that poured
with an extremely lush off-white head. When the head eventually died
down a bit, I could detect a faintly metallic tang to the nose layered
beneath a pleadingly dank, hoppy scent. The flavour is that of a
standard India pale--a nice blend of bitter citrus and evergreen--but
executed with a health panache. It starts with a dose of malty sweets
before progressing to a musky, aromatic hop presence.
For
an IPA, this stuff is a little low test booze-wise. On paper, it is an
unremarkable brew, with conventional flavour notes and styling, but it
delivers a great taste. In short, it does the ordinary really well. This
is a beer well worth seeking out. It's certified organic, too.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
