An iconic India Pale Ale (IPA) brewed to the same recipe as 1830. Aromatic hops, toasted cereal notes and hints of smoke and spice kindle White Shield’s embracing nose, enhanced by fragrant fruity characters and an intricate top-note of freshly baked bread. With time to condition, William Worthington’s unique dual yeast works up a sharp sparkle, crafting a full luxurious mouth-feel that combines with warming hints of alcoholic liqueur and White Shield’s ever so subtle peppery character, to create an exquisite bittersweet finish.
Production moved from White Shield brewery to William Worthington’s brewery in December 2010. Production moved to the main Coors brewery in Burton in 2012 to keep up with increasing demand.

2016 catch up - A good "English" IPA. A heavy bitterness, a good colour and a nice refreshing mouthfeel. This is a very good beer and quite surprisngly sessionable.

Bottle, 0.5l. Pours cloudy copper body with two finger white head with some lacing. Malts on the nose, lots of yeast, a bit herbal, touch of caramel. Medium body with creamy texture. Regular carbonation, just the right amount to bring out the flavours on the tongue. Aroma of malts, yeast, hops, caramel, licorice, wood. A bit peppery, slightly boozy. Pretty well rounded drink. Moderately bitter. Pretty dry finish. Overall, tasty one.

Jun. ’16. A 0.5 l bottle that poured a clear golden body with a medium sized head. A bit of caramel, bread and some herbal aroma. Fine bitter roasted flavor, bread, roasted caramel and apple/other fruity with vague herbal hop notes, too. Medium body. Finished long, bitter herbal and papery. Although rater simple, it’s a decent bitter with straightforward bitterness.

Pivo brončane boje, sa gustom prljavo bijelom pjenom. Dosta karbonizirana pa podriguješ ko lud. Slabi miris borovine. Iako piše na etiketi nešto i IPAi ovo je tipični primjerak engleskog bittera sa gorkim finishom u okusu.

Pours a clear, dark amber color, topped with a medium sized and creamy head, just off-white. Nice retention. Mild biscuity malt aroma with a bit of grassiness in the back. Moderately sweet. Biscuity malt with some caramel presence and a mild hoppy bitterness in the finish. Medium light body. Ok.

Bottle, 500 ml at Mojo, Zagreb. Pours amber with small off-white head. Caramel malty, some fruity notes. Some bitterness in finish. Light to medium bodied. Quite boring.
