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 at platform 5. Pours clear amber, thin white head. Aromas of caramel and little else. Taste is caramel and a mineral chalkiness. Thin body, sweet finish. Everything you’d expect.

On tap at The Red Lion, Gatwick. Pours golden orange with small white head. Caramel malty, bit watery. Light bodied. Can’t see why it’s labeled as IPA.

Gylden brun med hvitt skum. Merkelig lukt, søtlig ingenting som antyder IPA. Helt smakløst, lite kullsyre. Merkelig!!!

On cask at aye Olde Talbot Inn Worcester. On the whole a very disappointing IPA. Lacking the hoppiness I would have expected.

Bottle on the train to WAT cheers to JF, a rates a rate and we’re headed to Partizan followed by Kernel so all will end well, 28/12/13. Clear golden with a good sized off white head, identified by some table spillage. Nose is light caramel, toasted maltings, light orchard fruit. Taste comprises grain, apple skins, GK yeast strain, dull caramel. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry grassy notes and lite bitterings in the closure, a touch watery. Mediocore.
