Beer Here Lupulus APA

From the growler no less!

Like the rest of the world (seemingly) I've been on a bit of an IPA bender of late and as such have lost a bit of enthusiasm for the world of 'normal' pale ales. Wasn't really looking forward to this one that much to be honest, at just 4.7% it all pointed toward a very bland experience. But then..

Biscuity sort of nose on this, then a bit of fruit / stone fruit hops - very nice indeed, and indeed that same profile comes through on the taste. It's pretty much all you want in an APA for me - mouthfeel nice and fresh out of the growler and a well balanced progression of flavours that renders it highly drinkable through the pint and indeed beyond.

A malt driven beer, this is not explosive but it is a fine, fine beer and a paragon of the style. I'm starting to wish I went to the event while the brewer from Beer Here was in town.. 8.5
