India Pale Ale was first brewed when the British ships crossed the oceans en route to their faraway colonies. To better preserve their beloved beer during these long voyages, the English brewers added extra hops. British Brewer John Martin honoured this tradition when he landed in Antwerp by using the unique dry hopping technique. For this technique, extra hopflowers are added at the end of the fermentation process to give the beer a fruity aroma and a bitter yet balanced flavour. Martin's IPA, the perfect alliance between British character and Belgian brewing expertise.

It is not my favourite IPA, I find the taste mainly malty, there is something boring, few hop, normal carbonation, 24.05.2016

Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, metallic notes, ripe fruit, some floral notes. Flavour is sweet with a little tartness and a light bitter finish. Dull and disappointing. Strange that this should be called an IPA.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Fles thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een licht troebel oranjekleurig bier met een medium witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een moutige licht hoppige geur. De smaak is moutig, zoutig en licht hoppig.
