Mid-amber pour with pretty good clarity. Smallish white head without much retention or lace. Nose gives a simple, toasty malt base and a few hoppy overtones. The tastes follow suit with a solid, caramel malt base and some pretty light hop tones....
12 oz single thanks to Rob. Light , golden orange body with an initially, big rocky head that leaves some nice sticky lace. Slight haze/cloudiness. Nose and tastes are typically English in terms of the biscuity malts and the relatively restrained...
12 oz single, from PittBeerGirl as part of my secret bunny 2010. Nice, authentic orange body with a good head initially but it fades pretty quickly. Not much lace either. Light hops in the nose that are replicated with more force in the tastes....
12 oz single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. My worry with all beers that start life in the USA and claim to be "English" style, is that we will get over-hopped products with alcohol that is too high and malt profiles that are insufficiently...
500 mL bottle that was $4.99 purchased on a recent visit to Asheville, NC, USA. For some reason, although we get a few Ridgeway beers in Georgia, this one has never shown up. Delighted to get my hands on it. Pour is a very light golden body...
12 oz single thanks to nerofiddled for the chance to try this one. Great clarity on the copper colored body and some bone-white lace with better than average retention and lace. A nice combo on the nose of some fruit and well balanced sweet malts...
Purchased as a single from (I think) Total Wine, Kennesaw, GA, USA. 12 oz bottle. Standard pale orange cloudiness with a small but dense ivory head. Some lace. Turbid body. No presence, no nose, no point really. Lifeless body and largely tasteless...
12 oz single from Mac's Midtown, Atlanta, GA, USA. Part of the (now) $8.99 mixed sixer. "British style"?? We'll see! Beautiful clarity on the golden pour. Nice carbonation and a decent amount of head, lace and retention. Looks nice. Very light...
Fantasic beer with a decent ABV (considering the style) that manages to combine both a refreshing, summer drinking type ability along with one of the more satisying experiences of a "lighter" beer. A combination of four hop varities goes into the...
12oz single. Very, very light, golden yellow pour with soapy film of a head. The color is really unusual. Minimal lace. Mild citrus hops in the nose. Some sweetness as well. Sweetened grapefruit makes up the sharp hop profile. Balanced quite well....
As a single from Total Wine in Charleston, SC, USA. 12oz bottle. Pour is a very, very light orange hue that quite frankly looks a bit watery. Head goes quickly to leave a soapy film and some decent lace. Some organic, grass based hops in the nose....
Delighted to discover this sitting at Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. $3.99 for the 500 mL bottle. Attractive bottle and nice green label complete the presentation. Noisy pour into the shaker pint yields a bright, clear amber body, soapy head...
From notes taken in England in July 2007. Cheers Chris! 500 mL, splendid looking clear glass bottle. Quite why this is listed as an American IPA I'm not sure, but I know that subject can get people all excited (What was the original IPA? Where does...
The phrase "Proper Job" is a Cornish one meaning "good job" or "well done". My Cornish father would use it all the time when I was growing up. Proper Job the beer, is a relatively strong English IPA. Plenty of hop character here from the the nose...
Picked this up at the Exeter M&S as a gift pack that included one bottle, one decent looking, etched glass mug and a nice stainless steel opener for the knockdown price of 1 GBP as a clearance item from Father's Day! Lovely jubbly. Decent amber...
12 oz single, $1.69, Jax, Sandy Springs, GA, USA. Pale pour with a little too much yellow color as opposed to orange hue for my liking. Some half-decent head and lacing make up for the lack of color a little bit. A little grainy in the nose....
Additional notes 06/30/24 Pictured. I buy a few of these every year when I can find them, and they continue to deliver a beautiful, English simplicity that is only possible to get from beers from home. The other beers in this series make a bit of a...
As far as I can tell this is relatively new to the US. The St. Peter's "flask" bottle remains a classic. Green's, Ponce de Leon, Atlanta, GA, USA. I suspect that this beer is going to be horribly misuderstood in the USA. People without the...
On draft at Mellow Mushroom in Lexington with BEERchitect. Very good value at about $2.00 a pint! Fairly standard looking in terms of the color, but the head & lacing was superb. The lacing was both extensive and sticky. Aroma was overwhelmingly...
Liquor Barn purchase, Lexington, KY as a 500 mL bottle. UnGodly amount of sediment in the pour. Sediment fails to settle well, and as a result this is a pretty unattractive pint. Nice head and some super lacing - this is NOT an easy beer to give an...
On-tap, Taco Mac, Decatur, GA, USA. Hazed orange pour with a fluffy head and good lacing. Grapefruit notes are immediately apparent in the nose and this manifests itself on the palate quickly too. Green hop bitterness is consistent, and does not...
$4.50 on draft, Taco Mac, The East West Connector, Atlanta, GA, USA. Pale orange. Small head with little or no lacing. Sweet, clean and refreshing. A simple, but a tasty and satisfying IPA, nice on draft and in the bottle. Great sessionable...
OK, I'm slightly confused. I know that this was originally only released in the USA since the brewer thought that the best place for a large IPA to be appreciated would be on this side of the pond. The logic presumably being that a big hop bomb...
Very, very light color for the style with a golden color and good carbonation. Some decent lacing but not very special. Hoppy bitterness up front, this drinks and looks very much like a decent Pilsner. Very, very odd indeed in terms of the style....
Classic orange color, but lacking in body. Pretty good lacing with lots of soapy character. Floral and oily hops make up the nose and the taste but the aroma lacks depth. A real light drinker, which is OK, but if you like some decent body and depth...
This had it all for me. Tasty, fruity and alcoholic, a hop edge and a malt backbone. One of the most complicated, and complex beers that I have drunk in a long time. Orange body with a big frothy head with nice retention and some lacing. It...
Really attractive dark orange color, nice frothy head with some lacing and some retention. Good, citrus based hops in the nose and the initial tastes, that give way to some nice smooth character and a sting in the long finish. A little smoky...
Much more of a classic, English IPA than the hoppier, stronger American versions, this is yet another example of a finely crafted brew that, if it is to be appreciated fully, one needs to understand the style and understand the art of subtle beer...
Additional notes 07/09/23 (pictured) Color, as noted below, a resplendent orange, with some tremendous head and some decent lace. Cracking looking. As notes, a classic, light drinking, subtley hopped (in the grand scheme) ale that dances on the...
One of a split sixer from Jax, Sandy Springs, Atlanta, GA, USA and subsequently in the Brooklyn mixed 12 pack. Very pale color, even for an IPA. The pour leaves a small head with little or no lacing. Very pale orange color and lots of clarity....
