Tasting Notes From Scotland: IRN BRU

@buroak : Please don't start me off on 'American' IPA's! Two pints of that stuff and you get EBS (Exploding Bottom Syndrome) especially if consumed after your breakfast baked beans. I have closed down establishments due to that bottled methane!

@condorlover1 No argument here. Boulevard’s original Pale Ale is about the only domestic IPA I drink these days. I much prefer Fuller’s ESB to IPAs, though I have not been able to find it in more than 15 years.

American brewers too often think the best way to pay tribute to the style is to crank it to 11 and create a sludge whose best quality is an ABV figure equal to a Port.

Too true! “This is our 7% British mild.”
