»Captain's Reserve Imperial IPA

A little light for an Imperial IPA, which suited the early afternoon; cool, not too hoppy but hoppy enough. I was torn between this and a Sly Fox IPA from a traditional beer engine, but opted for the tang of refrigeration.
A few days ago, I also returned to a few bottles from the Brooklyn Brewery (no links because their site is way too Flash-y): the Pennant Ale and the East India Pale Ale. The Pennant hit the spot: a little less hoppy and more malty, and a good balance of flavours. The Brooklyn IPA again struck me with the sour aftertaste of the hops, which probably would go down better with more cheese (I had none); the Captain recommends a Stilton; I will try it again sometime with a Cotswold.
