Lady Friend has a
fresh aroma that mixes melon, mango, and a touch of something citric.
Quite sweet for an IPA, this Eloran ale tends toward subtle fruit notes;
however, the back end has some resinous hops in measured doses.
No
surprise to those who follow the Bitter World, I found Lady Friend’s 6%
backbone to be a bit anemic for the IPA style—7% is closer to my ideal.
The taste is agreeable and nuanced. Melon is one of my recent flavour
darlings, and this one does it nicely. However, a heartier and more
rambunctious finish would have made this beer a bit better.
Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
