Food Pairing
Light amber in colour, this emboldened IPA has potent hop notes on the nose, suggestive of ripe orange marmalade alongside the sweetness of tinned mandarins. The bold English hop character continues on the palate, with more citrus, plus a grassiness and a restrained sweetness redolent of a Bakewell tart. The finish has a dryness that suggests a witty aside in the pub, a putdown said with affection and compassion.
How about trying it with roast chicken, roast potatoes and peas — the beer adds a succulence to the chicken, with its bitterness cutting through the fat. Also try with crab cakes or even haddock and chips.
