Mangrove Jack's - Single Hopped IPA Simcoe

BUDFORCE

Second of the three Mangrove Jack's kits I have.

I tried this straight after the American Pale Ale, and.. it's not quite as good.

Of course taste is completely subjective, this one is slightly more bitter, but not as aromatic, I have had Simcoe IPA's before and this doesn't stand out.

It's also lacking some of the maltyness, so is basically a slightly thinner tasting, more bitter but almost less hoppy version of the American Pale Ale.

The above is critical, it's still pretty good in general, but there are some better kits. I would put this on par with the Cooper's Brew of A range, which are good, and a bit cheaper.

I would give it 4 stars, but given 3 stars because you can get as good in other kits that are cheaper.

Cheers for that, it's a shame you did not find it as good as the other one, it sounds as though it lacked some flavour and body
