In the Meantime...

Meantime IPA 7.50% ABV, an English India Pale Ale,  it comes in a beautiful bottle with a Champagne cork,  pours orangy amber, has a huge bubbly head about three to four fingers and decent retention and lacing.  The nose is citrusy and hoppy sweet that is a little toned down compared to American IPAs.  The taste is a slightly caramel sweet, grassy, orange zest, hops, with some mint and anise undertones, and medium bitterness.  The mouthfeel is medium creamy, smooth with some carbonation.  My favorite English IPA.  Absolutely drinkable.  What I like about this beer is the way the taste lingers in your tongue, and lets you discover the depth of the flavor in stages.  Made with over 2 lbs of hops per barrel.   According to the makers: "Jam packed with English Fuggles and Goldings, the beer is brewed with as many hops as we can physically get into the copper."
