Fledgling Brewery, Historic IPA

[Muddydisco]

A big beer bottled back in January last year, 7.7% and 120EBU, using pale malt, cane sugar and EK Goldings

Opened my bottle with a slight hiss, Poured well keeping a compact sediment. A coarse head formed and quickly disappeared. Leaving a lightly carbonated brew, ( I like them that way ) Nice floral aroma. To my suprise this isn't as Bitter as you would think, a grapefruit taste is found near the end of the mouthful and a clean finish.
I didn't think I would like this as I'm a self confessed Dark and Malty man, But this was a nice dare I say Balanced beer Had to fight the wife for the rest of the pint, I lost but she does agree with the tasting "it's good" was her remark.

Sorry I can't do any better but my tastebuds are not as fine as someone else's, Hence the need to have big singular flavours in my beers :lol:

Glad to hear this brew is doing well
I think a lot of people would be surprised at how really high IBU beers mature....well worth doing one and laying it down
