Classic IPA

Brewery: Seven Bro7hers Brewery
Supplier: Flavourly

The last beer from the Flavourly box, this one from a brewery started by seven brothers in Manchester last year. This is one of their five beers, this being their IPA. I served this chilled.
Appearance: A pale straw colour that is slightly hazy. The head is thin and white. 
Aroma: It smells like a mixture of perfume, and oranges when they are about to go off. 
Flavour: A mild hoppiness, followed by a tart farmhouse note. A slight malt note at the back.
Body: Not too light for a pale, but a nice medium body. The carbonation is fine. 
Aftertaste: Not much left after, just a mild hoppy bitterness and a lingering of slightly old hops.

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, my descriptions don't make it sound great, but it is quite a nice drinker, crisp and a little tart. However, this isn't hoppy at all, it's more of a pale ale.

Price Range: Last of the box of 8 beers was £12, making it £1.50 for a 330ml bottle; not a bad price, but not great.

Food Pairings: Quite non-descript so it could go with most things. I would say a light pasta, with a sauce without cheese or tomato.
