An IPA as an IPA should be: packed with a full malty flavour and a strong complex hop finish imparted by Styrian Goldings and Fuggles.

29th Jan 2019; cask, third of a pint in The Red Lion and Pineapple, Acton. Golden/amber body, off-white head. Malty front to the aroma and taste with semi-sweet malty molasses to the fore flavour wise in the initial sips, the hops kick in a little later and calm the malts down somewhat; liked it.

Burnley Beer Festival 2015. Its strength is evident and is hopped with lots of bubblegum sweetness for its flavour.

Dobre, ale nie rewelacyjne. Znow naciaganie klientow. Na etykiecie napisane "Real True IPA", czyli przawdziwe India Pale Ale ale jednak okazuje sie ze to raczej ESB. Wiec nie wiem czy klasyfikacja jes dobra czy producent oszukuje. Nie mniej jednak troche przypomina prawdziwe angielskie IPA. Centymetrowa piana lekka metnosc, choc drozdzy nie bylo chmielowy smak i zapach.
