Beer 292 - Deuchars IPA (4.5 stars out of 5)


Brewed in Edinburgh by the Caledonian Brewery, Edinburgh, Scotland.  Not sure if this was bought by Andy or Stephen, so thanks to them both for thinking of me.  We carried it back to Houston well protected in our suitcases and I drank it at home in Katy while reading the newspaper before dinner.

The brewery web site: http://www.caledonian-brewery.co.uk/home.php

The web site says: "For you, there's nothing more rewarding than finding the perfect beer. For us, there's nothing more rewarding than brewing the perfect beer.  Wonderful coincidence, isn't it?
Deuchars IPA (India Pale Ale) has proven to be instantly quaffable - quenching the thirsts of beer judges, beer fanatics and beer lovers all over Britain. 3.8% ABV"  the bottle says "brewed in our Victorian Brewhouse witha blend of finest Golden Promise and Optic malts, which deliver Caledonian's traditional soft, full bodied maltiness."

A very nice beer, excellent body and a great taste, just what I needed after a hectic day at the office.  Excellent drinkability, I drank it chilled, as suggested on the bottle, and enjoyed every sip and drink.
