BELHAVEN TWISTED THISTLE IPA
1 Pt., 0.9fl. oz., 6.1% ABV ( not on label)
Brewed by Belhaven Brewing, Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland
++1/2
FROM THE LABEL: "A refreshing example of India Pale Ale from the master brewers of Belhaven. The blend of Cascade and Challenger hops combine to produce an abundance of fresh hop aroma that preludes a bitter-dry taste explosion. Crafted from nearly three centuries of brewing heritage at one of Scotlands oldest breweries, this ale from Belhaven will have your taste buds tingling. ESTD 1719. Grown, mashed. fermented, twisted and conditioned in Scotland."
FROM THE MOUTH: INDIA PALE ALE: Not your traditional American IPA, in that I mean this is not trying to outdo the next guy in hop bitterness and attempting to challenge the mouth to scale another rock before it can rest. The taste is a mild light malt nicely blended with a medium piney hop and including a bit of spiceness leading to an overall impression of refreshment. I am thinking this would be fantastic on tap in Scotland--- road trip! I really like this beer and will have it again, easy drinking. A+
