Regional release.
England knows beer. And they should, they’ve had it for a real long time. So we wanted to partner up with the UK for our American IPA. It’s brewed like a traditional English ale but with a delicious twist: a mix of UK and US hops. What you get is a medium-bodied, smooth round mouthfeel with moderate bitterness and a deep golden hue. Making it taste somewhat familiar but also a bit unique for our mates across the pond.
Malts: Pale Ale and Wheat Malt
Hops: Admiral, Goldings, Cascade, Centennial and Columbus
Additions: Orange, Marmalade, Biscuit
IBU: 48
COLOR: Deep Gold

Brewed by Marston's in the UK. £2.10/500ml bottle BB: 31/10/20
L- Dark amber, clear, pours with 2mm fine white head.
S- It has a restrained zestiness to it, fresh and vibrant, but not youthfully gyrating too close to your receptors.
T- Quite dry, as you might expect from an IPA: Thankfully not a 'LOOK-at-me!' hipster hop-bomb.
M- Dry, refreshing, I'd suggest this more trad British IPA than new-fangled US iteration. It has subtle fruit notes, but the overall palate is adult and better for it.
O- It's good, quite trad and amenable for an IPA these days. This beer was - very unexpectedly - bought in rural Norfolk, UK, from Co-op Mulbarton.
