This premium hoppy ale is a vivaciously fruity and appetising version of the classic India Pale Ale. Originally brewed to survive the rigours of a long sea voyage from Britain to India during the Raj. Farsons IPA blends just the right amount of bitterness with a solid malt base resulting in a clear amber colour and a well formed and dense off-white head. This modern IPA has a complex, creamy, and refined taste profile – another Farsons Classic in the making.

Wenig würzig-hopfiger, trockener und mild bitterer Start. Die Hopfigkeit bleibt gering, das Bier insgesamt süffig und wenig getreidig. Wenig IPA-ish aber durchaus ok. 7/8/9/8/9/8

Dorada ambar clara, poca espuma. Aroma malteado y floral. En boca es ligera de cuerpo, equilibrada, con predominio malteado pero contrapunto lupulado, floral, con notas de madera. IPA al estilo britanico, mas bien flojilla.

F: big, almost white, good retention. C: deep gold, clear. A: malt, hint of citrus, touch of passion fruits, hint of metallic, caramel. T: malty, hint of metallic, some fruity, citrus but very light, hint of tangerines, medium body, medium carbonation, typical commercial interpretation of the IPA style like they are afraid to show what is IPA about, 330ml bottle from Chain foodstore in the Point Shopping Mall in Sliema.

Bottle at Malta. Why IPA? I would maybe accept this as average lager, but with IPA it has nothing to do...

Dark golden to bright amber colour, minimal off-white head; aroma of floral a d fruity notes, grains and some minimal biscuit; taste is the same; not really a hop-dominant beer, which fact is not a good point in case of an IPA...
