Needless to say (I assume) the name Meantime relates to the fact that this brewery is based in Greenwich. The Greenwich Brewery,home of the Meantime Brewing Company,is located a mere 0° 2′12″East of the Greenwich Meridian. Their London Pale Ale (4.3%) is the first of Meantime’s beers I have tried,but based on this one,I’ll be looking to try some of the others (maybe even the Raspberry Grand Cru,although I’m not generally a big fan of fruit beers).
The London Pale Ale is very aromatic due to dry-hopping with “bucketfuls of Cascade and Willamette hops”–in fact they claim that they add 4 hops 6 times –now that’s quite a recipe. There is an orangey tang to the smell,and the sharp bitterness and orange zesty tang continues in the taste,and it finishes with a mild fruity sweetness. Very tasty.
