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 @ Kings Stores, London. Clear amber with a small white head. Faint aroma of citrus fruits. Taste is very mild. Small hints of citrus fruits and biscuits. No bitterness to speak of. Low carbonation. Pretty inoffensive. Maybe, just maybe it grows on you after half a dozen of pints but I didn't feel it was worth finding out.

Bottle I really wonder why do they call it IPA as it didn't even walk around the style.

Cask. Rather bland and boring but without any obvious faults. Sweet and fruity.

Bottle from a Lidl sale. Shared with lovely Anja and little Mirko. Dark golden to amber, medium off-white head. Very light malts, corn, and no hops. Water. No body, moderate carbonation, no finish. Huge disappointment.
