Belhaven Twisted Thistle IPA

Colour:  Light golden

Aroma:  Fresh hop, citrus & spicy hop

Taste:  Sweet malt, citrus spicy and herbal hop, bold bitter finish

Malt:  Pale & Crystal

Hops:  Challenger, Hersbrucker & Cascade

A bold but refreshing ale using pale malt to provide sweetness and a little Crystal malt for extra toffee and a touch of astringency.  Challenger provides clean bitterness and an underlying herbal hoppyness.  Hersbrucker adds a little fruit, spiciness and floral character and Cascade as the late hop adds masses of grapefruit citrus aroma and taste and floral fragrance.  All three hops contribute to the bold bitterness and satisfying finish as well as the huge “hop store” aroma.

Perfect with:  Sweet and sour dishes, chicken dishes with lime or lemon
