The Union
6.0% English IPA
A classic British-style cask IPA created using the very best ingredients we can get our hands on and then fermenting it in our new Union set. For our base malt, we have used Maris Otter from Norfolk, a touch of Simpsons' best Crystal malt to add a touch of colour and rounded sweetness and some of the special (and expensive) Brewers' Invert No.2 sugar from Ragus, which will add notes of caramel and toffee while helping to keep the beer's body in check. The all-important hops are British-grown Goldings and Northdown, which give us some gentle berry flavours and rounded, ceder-like hop aromas to balance the maltiness.
Hops: Golding, Northdown

Kullan keltainen ja suht kirkas, jossa kuohkea melko pitkään pysyvä vaahto. Makeahkon maltainen maku, jossa mukavan napakkaa humalan katkeruutta, joka ei ole kitkerä. Oikein onnistunut ipa, joka lajissan ei ole lähtenyt turhaan kikkailuun. Tyylipuhdas ja maistuva perus ipa.

Vahvemmat prossat sopii tähän erinomaisesti. Britti-ipaksi tosi ok.

Yesterday 18°C, today Friday 3°C, quite a drop. Tomorrow even colder. The first for chilly evening. Hazy, almost bright orange beer, rapid white foam that settles as lacy islands. Scent is very mild, even lagerish, hoppy and citrusy. Taste is also mild, hint of caramel malts and hoppy bitterness with citrus flavors, both pulp and peel. Easy ipa, pleasant beer.

Just been on strike announced by trade union so this 🍺 is proper for tonight 😆 Traditional 🇬🇧 with caramel malts and lemon & dried fruits on top. Faint red berries at background. Solid. Would buy again 🍻

Liiton hommia. Aika mieto tuoksu. Hivenen karamellinen. Keskitäyteläinen suutuntuma. Hiilihapot vaahtoavat alkuun pehmeästi, muuttuen nopeasti suuta pisteleväksi. Maistuu kevyen karamellisen maltaiselle, sitruksiselle ja aavistuksen hedelmäiselle. Ihan kivan makuinen, vaikkakin mauiltaan miedohko olut. Varmaankin aika uskollinen tyylilleen.
