If our IPA were a car, it would definitely be driving on the left. Because that's how British this beer is. Using the best carefully selected English hops, we created a nice spicey beer with finesse. Based on the traditional India Pale Ale it is a real classic under the hood, with outstanding bitterness balanced by a hint of fruit and rich maltyness.

Bottle at home. Murky brown with small white head. Belgian style yeast up front with cloves and banana, sweet berries, lots of tea, orange, sweet malts and caramel. Medium sweet taste. Medium bodied with very light carbonation. Does this brewer just put random styles on the label? It’s more like a Belgian ale. Not that bad though, but I think for over 3 euro it’s way overpriced.

Bottle from ABC Beers, Den Haag. Poured a murky dark brown with little life. The aroma is sweet toffee caramel. The flavour is moderate sweet with a watery sickly sweet medicinal palate with zero hops and no bitterness at all. Medium bodied with no carbonation. If the English served this beer calling it an "English IPA" it might be enough to start another civil war!
