Charnwood IPA

◎ Appearance

Amber hue with a warm, burnished glow characteristic of the style. Clear and bright, with good head retention and fine carbonation that maintains a creamy collar of lacing on the glass. The body carries excellent visual presence.

◌ Aroma

English hop character leads on the nose, offering herbal and earthy notes that give way to distinctive citrus and orange zest from the Simcoe additions. Beneath lies a solid English malt foundation with subtle biscuit and grain character that anchors the overall profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with caramel and bready malt sweetness, supported by the full body that carries the beer through to mid-palate. American Simcoe hops deliver a generous wave of citrus and orange flavors, balanced by moderate bitterness (60 IBU) that builds steadily without overwhelming the malt base.

◑ Finish

The finish extends with lingering citrus and a gentle drying bitterness that fades gradually. A warming alcohol presence (5.8% ABV) complements the hop-driven conclusion without harshness.
