A perfectly balanced ale, characterised by its fresh hoppy taste and a clean bitter finish. The Official Beer of England Rugby, Greene King IPA is now the fastest selling cask ale in the UK.
Abv reduced from 3.6% to 3.4% in September 2023 “to help the company combat rising costs while maintaining the same crisp flavor of the beer”.

Cask @ The Hawley Arms, London. Clear amber with a small white head. Aroma of tea, citrus fruits and diacetyl. Taste of citrus fruits, biscuits, butter, malts and tea. Moderate bitterness. Low carbonation. Thin. Barely ok and didn‘t make me go get a second one.

Cask. Pours a bright mahogany with moderate foamy head. Very light aromas of toasted malts and butter. Flavors of soft bready malts with just a hint of hops. Meh. Light malt beverage…

Drinking it three days ago, coming back from a nice walk from Fuengirola to Marbella, drinking this can in the jacuzzi after a long walk and it waa just perfect, a classical smooth, mild and medium bitter I.P.A brewed on the English way.

Definitely a bitter rather than an IPA. Acceptable but nothing to write home about. Pint in the Saracen's Head, Towcester.

Bue à la pression au Grenadier, à Londres. Robe dorée tirant sur l’ambré, peu engageante. Nez discret, légère touche maltée. En bouche, une bière douce, maltée, avec une pointe sucrée qui alourdit l’ensemble. Manque de fraîcheur, d’amertume et d’aromatique : loin de ce qu’on attend d’une IPA. Finale plate, sans relief. Décevant.
