Beer #213 - Purity Longhorn IPA
I first came across Purity last year when I picked up a
bottle of their Mad Goose at The Rugby Tap but the opportunity to try a second
of their beers didn’t come my way until last week. I went for a Friday night,
post-work drink at the Castle in Farringdon with a couple of colleagues and
spotted Longhorn IPA on keg. I rarely go for keg beers but I didn’t want to
pass this opportunity up so had a couple of pints. It poured a lovely orange
colour with a slight haze and a white head. It had a good hoppy nose as you’d
probably expect. The taste was bitter, zesty orange with grapefruit and quite a
bitter, dry finish. It was served a bit too cold for my taste but that is
presumably down to the fact that it was kegged. On the whole it’s a nice,
drinkable IPA although definitely pushing it with the bitterness.
