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.

500ml bottle, gift from ippopotamo36 (thanks Alberto!). Pours light amber with a medium off-white head. Aroma of bubblegum, malt, strawberry, light citrus and peach. Flavour is well balanced but really boring and not clean at all. Medium to light body, medium carbonation. So so...

Bottle, purchased and consumed in Serbia. Pours a semi clear amber colour, kind of nut skin very nice. Great tick off-white head. Nose: a bit nutty, roasted malt beans, dusty, just a hint of dust, not that much of hops but some grassy floral here and there. Quite clean and nice. Mouth: soft carbonation, nutty full bodied, a very peppery and distinctively herbal (almost chicory) elegant finish which stays in the palate after. Quite tasty, really.

Whee, another "classic" I finally get to try. At the Ožujsko Bar in Tkalčićeva street, Zagreb. Darker amber body, misty with a lasting head. Vaguely dusty sweetish aroma, dried apricots, very light cardboard. Simple taste, peachy, malty, with a short stab of herbal hoppy bitterness. Solid body. Yeah, drinkable, will get a chuckle for being called an IPA by today’s standards, but not something I’ll likely be returning to much.

Amber to copper colored, clear, moderate off white head, decent lasting, nice lacing. Aroma is malty, biscuit, some fruit and citrus and bit grassy. Taste is low+ sweet caramel malt, biscuit, low fruity, citrus, some spice, some grassiness. Low to moderate bitterness, bittersweet finish, hints of alcohol. Medium- bodied, moderate carbonation.

0.5 bottle at Vintage Industrial Bar, Zagreb. Clear golden, medium off white head, lacing. Citrus hops. Malts, candy, fruits. Sweet. Good balance, but far from IPA. Good pale ale. Drinkable. Thin to medium body, medium carb. Weak finish.

Bottle at Giraffe. Hazy amber body with a thin white head. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange, stewed tea and pineapple. Flavour of floral, herbal hops. A hint of peach too, with an earthy, peppery finish. Thin to medium body with an oily texture. Light fizz. A well balanced beer.

500 ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy, amber orange with a medium, frothy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Fruity aroma with caramel malt and a faint bread note. Sweet fruity flavour with caramel malt, a touch of pepper and a dry, bitter, resin finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Ok, but was expecting more.

Bottle. Nose is berry , cereal, biscuit, autumn fruits. Taste is cereal, red berry, herbal hops, slight pepperiness in the lightly bitter finish. It’s a better than average supermarket beer.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear golden amber, short-lived white head. Aromas are fruity, malt, light sour, light metal. Taste is light sweet, earthy hops. Caramel finish. Disappointing.
