# 23: SHIPYARD IPA
Shipyard Brewing - USA
5.8% ABV - Amber
E: Fantastic clarity with orangey-amber colour, a nice tight head, slightly off white
N: Herbal, floral and spicy aromas, not too much fruit but a hint of grass and elements of sweet malts.
P: A gentle sweetness leads to that recognisable IPA bitterness, a tang of citrus and pine, emulating from the fuggles hops.
M: Spritzy carbonation on the palate with a creamy texture.
Other comments: An English IPA using Fuggles hops brewed in the USA. Shipyard IPA is bold and well balanced which looks fantastic on the eye. A lovely IPA which has a higher IBU than most, due to the hop-percolator used by the brewmaster.
Food Pairings: Use the bitterness to cut through fatty foods, and allow the spicy fuggle hop to compliment spicy herbal flavours. Try with a good old fashioned Lincolnshire Sausage Roll or a Pork Pie.
SCORE: 3.3/5
