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”.

This evening the British parliament has to decide about leaving the EU, so why not have a classical British beer? This oldtimer is canned and has a amber golden colour with a short lived white head. Sweet aroma with caramel malts, earthy notes and grasses. Sweet fruits. Lightly toasted bread with honey. Taste is sweet. Light to medium body with a soft carbonation. Dry and fruity finish. Clean and classic. Too bad about the Brexit thing, so foolish.

Cask at The Curator, Terminal 3 Heathrow. I feel peoppe have been a bit mesn to this one. Old English ipas are never gonna have any relation to the new styles we see as ipas. especislly from a big old macro like Greene king. it is also 3.8% or whatever. I would call it a bitter but whatever about the semantics. sweet malty aroma. mahogany brown. watery finish and taste.

Can. Pours clear amber. Aroma is vegetables, candy. Body is light, more vegetables, lowish carbonation, decently bitter. Dryish palate. Good, considering this is a bitter.

Bottle from a small shop near the London Eye. Pours clear copper with a near white head. Aroma is fruity with a bit of malt. Med minus body. Flavor is fruit and malt. Dryish. Barely bitter, if at all. I’d drink it under some circumstances, but not today.

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.
