take pride in your work

What kind of beer do you need when summer comes too early?  One that quenches thirst!  One that cleanses the palate!  One that makes you feel warm and fuzzy about warm and sticky evenings!  In short, one that gets the job done.  I don't think I've had Cornish IPA before, but there's little chance that English beer will be disappointing.  There's some chance, but not that much.  At least I'll have a nice big bottle if it turns out bland.

It has a clear yellow beer color, but not much head.  There's a delicate scent, not as heavy as most hop-heavy craft ales, with just a touch of citrus.  Of course it has a slight citrus taste, more mellow than expected, but not unpleasant.  The beer is fully bitter but not biting, with a barely sweet beginning that ends in plainly bitter finish.  It's very smooth, no surprises develop while going down the bottle.  It's full flavored enough that it could stand on its own, but not demanding with startling flavors, so it can safely accompany food.  It could also go well with a friendly but serious conversation.

Job well done!
