Beer 3 Downton Brewery, Bottle Conditioned Chimera IPA

Today's beer is Downton Brewerys, Bottle Conditioned Chimera IPA. What an excellent brewery to review. Downton has been brewing since April 2003 and produced some wonderful beers over the years. The brewery can brew up to 60 barrels a week.
       


Downton Brewery, Chimera IPA
ABV : 7.0%


Looks : Golden straw colour with good carbonation. Pours well and has a light foamed white head.

Aroma : Sweet candy and spicy citrus notes. Intense floral aromas, possible straw.

Flavour : Sweet spicy bitter taste with a hints of floral, citrus notes, possible orange. Very refreshing hoppyness

Finish :  Short dry and very hoppy

                                                       Rating : 8.5 out of 10

What a really good beer with refreshing qualities to it. For people who like hoppy beers this is the one for you. Make sure you serve it around 12degrees to get that light foamed floral head. Enjoy
