Hailing from the tradition of 18th Century IPAs, which relied on generous hopping to protect exports during arduous journeys, this modern incarnation retains the strength, body and strong hop character which is synonymous with this beer’s provenance.
A glorious showcase of the distinct, heavily hopped beers for which Shepherd Neame is famed, India Pale Ale delivers potent bitterness, offset with generous amounts of pale ale malt to deliver a balanced, yet uncompromising brew.

A dark brown beer, a head is medium and blond. The nose has caramell, some wood, berries. Basic brittish. Taste has caramell malts, some wood and fruits, medium bitterness that dries the taste almost dry. Medium bodied, surprisingly also some alcohol. This beer is filled up with basic brittish nuancees, but nicely fresh.

Sampled @ GBBF day 2. Clear orange to copper color, no head. Smell and taste malts, sweet fruityness, a very sweet resinous hoppy bitterness. Too much actually, I don’t really like it.

More like a modestly hopped strong ale than an IPA, but not bad

50cl bottle from Alko. Mahogany color, thick white head. Nutty, sweet bready aroma, some caramel. Flavor has dark bready notes at first, followed by strong nuttyness, biscuity malts. Bitter, nutty finish. Well hopped beer. Fill bodied, dry. Enjoyable stuff.
