A truly sour, astringent India pale ale. This is the way i like them. The nose is a touch floral and the hop smell is strong, without being sweet. It is a cloudy, dirty colour with a nice white/brown head.
I was a bit taken back by the rich, amber bitterness then i checked the alc....... 6.9%. I have never had an IPA with this much alcohol and by the end of the beer it is more evident, almost heavy but the sour, pale taste brings it back in the same way an Orval does.
Gentle carbonation and a brilliant dry finish.
Great beer.
Get it in Australia because of a company called innspire and their commitment to importing great beer (like Meantime).
Cheers
Dan
