Today I expanded the IPA samples to Europe. Belhaven is the oldest independent brewery in Scotland. Their Twisted Thistle IPA is a traditional English IPA. Much milder hop flavor than the American IPAs. The ride across the pond may have contributed to the hop aroma loss. But this beer has very little hop aroma. It has a nice bitter flavor but it is very mild in comparison to American IPAs. It is enjoyable but compares more to American Pale Ale than an IPA.
