Redchurch Great Eastern IPA
A satisfying body of malt from the maris otter, munich, and crystal malts in the grist balanced with a big fruit salad hop aroma from generous late and dry hopping.

On tap at the source. Lovely IPA with all the needed properties for a mature complexion. 40ish IBU, lovely, non-overexaggerated late hops, smooth, and dry. Finish is consistent. Great.
Bottle 330 ml from HonestBrew. Aromas of tropical fruit, grass, hay, biscuit and citrus. Small white head and hazy golden body. Taste is rich and bitter with tropical fruit, citrus, grass and alcohol. Quite "dry" and tangy in taste.
Cloudy, pale yellow colour with plenty of white foam on top. Refreshing aroma with citrus fruit, lemon and orange. Some grassy hops. Taste is malty at first, then rounds out towards hoppy finish, some fruitiness here as well. Smooth mouthfeel, medium body, soft carbonation. Pretty good.
Bottle in Les Dix Fûts, Orléans-- Pours hazy yellow with thin white head. Nose is weedy. Aromas are tropical fruits, grapefruit, apricot. Average carbonation, medium body. Medium herbal finish.
Bottle@O’Hara’s, Tampere, Finland. Fruity roundness, sweetness of IPA and a bit of sourness. Good. Medium body with low/medium carbonation.
Bottle. Cloudy orange, tiny head. Hops, hints of mango. Nicely bitter taste.
Bottle from Grumbo, thanks man! Almost clear straw color with white head. Aroma has a vanilla like sweetness, candied lemons and a light alcohol note. Taste starts slightly grainy with a malty sweetness in the background. Hops are present but somehow play the second fiddle. Citrusy, grassy and earthy but with a light bitterness. Light, dry body with medium carbonation. The alcohol is a bit too present for my taste.
On tap at 2. Celler Bierfest. Comes with a hazy dark golden color and avery nice, large white head. The nose is fruity, mostly sweet tropical fruit like mango and pineapple, some floral and very intense hoppy aromas. Taste is a little ’old style’ nice pine needles and grapefruit-peel combined with the more intense pineapple fruit- Very nice hoppy finish. Good stuff!
Different kinds of hops but never too hoppy. Very drinkable, in fact dangerously so.

September 22, 2015 - at Earl of Essex - Keg draught. Hazy bubbly orange with a small but lasting attractive cap of creamy off-white head. Aroma is mostly tropical fruit and light floral bitterness, light background fruity malt, not too sweet, an interesting hint of toasted coconut, some alcohol presence. Taste is very much like the Bethnal Pale I had prior - resin/citrus bitterness, but more of it and definite pineapple in there too, more alcohol than the APA; both are very very well made beers and right up my alley. Average body, lightly astringent, decent carbonation, fairly long bitter coating finish - dry and not over-aggressive ... very impressed with these two.
It is a very fresh, citrusy, mango like IPA with a thin white head. The first sip is very vibrant and intense, you can taste grapefruit and tropical fruits. The end is much more smooth with a subtle hint of hoppiness and an earthy character.
A very nice English IPA. There was a surprising, but very pleasant earthiness to the flavour and a very smooth mouth feel. The fruity hops were present, but I keep coming back to that quite wonderful earthy flavour that developed as the beer warmed. It was drunk with food and that just added to the depth. A really, really good beer.
Aroma: pine and resin, grapefruit.
Appearance: hazy golden color and white head.

Nez sur el fruit de la passion
En bouche on dirait un jus avec un côté fruit de la passion assez ronde
From bottle pours hazy gold blonde colour with small but lasting white head. Aroma is grapefruit, pine, spruce, a touch of citrus and then buscuit malt. Quite complex. Taste is very bitter but niceley ofet by a malty sweetness which allows the taste to linger. Soft carbonation and slightly oily texture. Over all a nice IPA especially as a gift!

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 7.4%. Hazy pale yellow colour with loads of darker lumpy floaties, moderate white head. Pleasant aroma of fruity hops, notes of tropical fruits, hints of spices. Fruity and piney flavour with a very bitter finish.
Bottled. Pours hazy deep golden with a small off-white head. Aroma of citrus, caramel, peachy and piney notes. Sweet flavor that ends up being dry and bitter. Medium bodied, oily texture and soft carbonation. A very nice IPA? 🌟🌟🌟🌟
On draught at IMBC. Citrus, pineapple, grapefruit nose. Flavour is biscuit sweet with a citrus grapefruit finish.
October 30, 2015. Bottle at a random bar in London, best before March 18, 2016.
Light hazy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma is is fruity and malty with peach, citrus, toffee, some floral notes, pine and grass. Taste is light to medium sweet, grassy bitter. Finish is slightly dry bitterness with some grassy, piney and floral notes, citrus, some malty and tropical fruit sweetness. Medium bodied, average carbonation.
330ml bottle. Carefully poured, it’s a fairly clear golden colour with small white head. Lots of caramel malt on the nose, orange zest, pineapple, maybe some passionfruit. The sweet caramel malt is also noticeable in the taste, combatting the big bitter tangerine and grapefruit citrus hop blast, with pineapple notes there as well. Light bodied, sticky, average carbonation, long dry and fairly smooth bitter finish. Pretty solid IPA.
Keg at the brewery. Pale gold with a thin white head. Nice fruity tropical grapefruit aroma. The taste has plenty of grapefruit and pineapple before caramel and a bitter finish. Very good.
On tap at Drygate, pours a mostly clear orange with some cloudy, lacing white head. Nose is OK, plenty of spruce and pine, orange, soap. Flavor is slightly better too, malt, grist, a little honey, some biscuit, orange, pine, spruce. Finishes dry.
Une bonne IPA. Un peu de rondeur, une belle amertume. Pas inoubliable pour autant, mais je peux y retourner avec plaisir.
330mL bottle from International Beer Collector. BB 08.06.16
Pours a murky sort of honey-gold body, creamy white head.
Hop driven aroma - nice grass, citrusy, tropical fruits, with toasty, caramel malts in the works.
Has a smooth/slick sort of unfiltered body, creamy carbonation.
Solid sweet toffee & biscuit malt backbone supports a firm bitterness with stacks of grassy/leafy hop, bitter citrus & unripe stone & tropical fruits.
Tasty IPA - malt backbone works well.
Pours a cloudy amber to light brown with fluffy white head and good lacing.
Aroma is strong caramel, lime, lychee, apricot, pineapple, burnt orange and lime. Taste is sweet with a long bitter finish, good body. Tang on the tongue and quite boozy.
Have had a few of these and can be quite yeasty if you’re not careful with the pour given they are bottle conditioned.
