The India Pale Ale is a classic variety of British ale designed to survive the rugged sea voyages to India. The use of four malts and four hops combine to create a hop lovers dream. An earthy and ripe fruit aroma makes way for a robust malty middle palate and a long dry finish.

On tap at Wig & Pen, pours a cloudy dark orangey brown with a medium white head. Aroma brings out English hops and a little caramel. Flavour is very English but fairly pungent in the hop department, with caramel bready notes and a little butterscotch.

Citrus and pine jump from the nose. Soft body with moderate bitterness. Rounded and balanced, but not all that exciting.

Handpump at the brewpub. Pours slightly cloudy dark amber. Banana aroma, ripe and sweet. Taste is also sweet and fruity, but due to the handpump with an usual smooth texture for an IPA.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear amber. Aroma of grapefruity hops and licorice. Softly malty with near full body. Medium sweet with evident rye bread character and a hop bitterness that lingers pleasantly.
