What about the beer?
Colour is bright golden orange with a finger-thick white head. Aroma has grapefruit, lemon, orange - nice fresh citrus palette. Taste starts with citrus bitter bite. Fresh grapefruit with gentle resin takes over. Towards the end bitterness grows and both citrus
(grapefruit-lemon-orange) and pine come clearer through. Aftertaste has lots of
lasting strong grapefruit and spicy piny dryness.
High quality Double IPA. Beautifully tasty citrus with developing
piny bitterness. Extremely enjoyable. In my books Thornbridge seems to
have the top resume in Pale Ales in England.
Ölbeat
The combining theme with the beer and the song's name is obvious. The brewery hasn't kept its beers inside Derbyshire borders, but sent them "over the hills and far away". Good for people like me, since we like ales that rock.
