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 Ryries Bar, Edinburgh. Pours amber with a decent head and no bubbles. The nose has toffee and malt - can’t detect much in the way of hops. The taste has toffee and malt. The palate is medium in structure and texture with an overhanging malt finish that just doesn’t refresh at all. Overall, this is too malty for IPA and where are the hops?

Cask @ The Crown Rivers, Heathrow Airport, London
Pours brownish orange, murky with a foamy head. Aroma is quite mild with notes of fruits. Taste is soft and has hints of banana and malts. Smooth, slightly bitter finish. Not very balanced and doesn’t really taste like an IPA.
