Tasting Notes

Completely different from the American IPAs we drink every day: no explosive tropical fruit, no massive dry-hopping. Here, the balance between the biscuity and slightly caramelized notes of English malts and the typical flavors of lemon, orange, herbs, tea, and spices from British hops reigns. An elegant, complex aromatic profile that tells centuries of English brewing tradition. Long, dry finish with a noble and persistent bitterness.

• Aged English cheeses (cheddar, stilton)
