Sainsbury’s have a Great British Beer Hunt underway, and this is one of the 20 finalists. I picked it up for just a pound, and I’m impressed. It’s really hoppy, but with a bit of a savoury British taste alongside the more floral American hop notes. The producer’s website is here.
Castle Rock Screech Owl Strong IPA
5.5% alcohol. Powerful and quite citrussy with a nice combination of floral and savoury hoppy notes, with some nice chunky bitterness. Tangy, lively and complex, finishing fresh and citrussy. 8.5/10
I took a gamble on screech owl on a Sainsbury special offer and have to say this is the best tasting bottl ed beer I have had the pleasure of drinking for ages.knocks the socks of spitfire and greene king. A d I like Owls… bonus!!!
