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”.

Not very interesting at all, quite half-assed actually.

50 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Lidl Culemborg. Clear amber with a white head. Malty aroma with some flowery hops. Sweet taste with a fairly bitter finish. Nice English IPA but not very fresh.

Bitter with not much hop character it's ok but a bit appley Acetaldehyde not sure if this is due to the pub or just a trait of the beer.

En vaso shaker, color ámbar, espuma blanco hueso de mediana retención. Aroma casi ni se siente. En boca ligera, fácil de beber, acuosa, ligerísimo amargor, poco cuerpo, notas de hierba, tierra, polvo y cartón mojado, en lo que al calificativo de IPA respecta, yo no le veo el IPA por ningún lado... Supongo que es la típica cerveza para beberse tres o cuatro directamente de la botella y ponerse tó ciego mientras se ve un partido de futbol y se ingieren snacks baratos. Desde el punto de vista del 'bebercio' es ingerible y disfrutable, pero en lo que a calidad respecta es bastante mojón...

Deep Ellum, 7/15/23. Clear brassy-bronze. Small, off-white head at cover. Nose is mildly malty with cookie and biscuit. Dollop of caramel with very fruity yeast and otherwise quite clean. No diacetyl noted from nose. Soft, malty, reasonable texture/depth and attenuation with pleasant fruits from the yeast and just a hint of diacetyl which is quite charming, actually. On the maltier side, but it's well-attenuated and quite drinkable.

From tap at Two Brewers in London after doing the Karl Marx Walking Tour and in between The Harp, which was full of marathoners, and Craft Beer Co, Covent Garden. Clear golden. Dense and persistent off-white head and lacing. Decent aroma and taste of pale malt, some sweeter malt, succade and dried fruits.
