Comments: This is a pricey beer. I wasn't going to pick it up, because of the price (and because of what I already had in the basket), but the lovely wife really liked the label. I thought - what the hell, it's an IPA and really if your wife is telling you that you should buy it, why wouldn't you. This beer was hoptastic. It definitely satisfied my hop fix. It wasn't overly sweet or malty, which is a good thing in my book. If it were a bit more reasonably priced, I'd buy it fairly often, but the price is a big factor. In fact after having this beer and reading Generik's review of JW Dundee's IPA, I'm inspired to look at some less expensive beers and do a "blind" taste test. Should make for an interesting evening.

Matt,

If you're not scared off by the price, it's worth trying. I enjoyed it. I'd be interested to hear what you think after you get your hands on some.
