Deuchars' IPA, hailing from the Caledonian Brewery in Edinburgh, is one of the finest ales in the land. It won the 2002 Champion Beer of Britain award. It has been described as "Gyllen. Maltig & fruktig med inslag av choklad och aromahumle. Torr & välhumlad. Lätt med lång eftersmak.". Hmm. The reviews remark on its intense hoppiness, whereas when i drank it, i was struck by how lightly hopped and how strongly malty it was. Well, come the weekend, i'll see who's right. -- TA
