http://goodfoodgoodbeer.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/034.jpg?w=224&h=300 (http://goodfoodgoodbeer.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/034.jpg)Yet another cracker from Saltaire that launched to little fanfare, and yet deserves much more. When it comes to Saltaire’s bottles – compared to what they have on cask – it’s a limited offering. Blonde and Triple Chocoholic dominate the shelves; and so they should. Both are tasty and incredibly, incredibly popular *- especially round these parts.
But, as with the*Hazelnut*Porter and Cascade, Stateside IPA is a class act, and a beer I hope to see more of. Wearing the stars and stripes on its sleeve, it manages to remain resolutely trans-Atlantic*and mix the best of UK and US IPA leanings. A not-shy 6% abv and amber in the glass, it’s all juicy Seville Marmalade on the nose, with an even deeper fruitiness on the sip – think*Dundee*cake and earthy spice. Mid – sip it switches round, getting thinner, crisper and with a pronounced bite that will satisfy the US IPA freaks out there.
It’s big, warming, smooth and sweet and, simply , a great beer. I’ve not tried it on cask (if it’s available on cask), but Stateside has quickly shot up there with New World Red and South Island Pale (http://goodfoodgoodbeer.wordpress.com/2012/11/17/going-for-gold-with-saltaire-brewery/)as must-drink Saltaire beers.
Ps: Despite only launching Gold on Keg a few months ago, it picked up a Gold at the recent International Brewing Awards (http://saltairebrewery.co.uk/saltaire/?p=1393). No mean feat, and entirely deserved. Well done, Saltaire, well done.
