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.

Bottled. Hazy dark amber body, off white head. Malty dusty aroma, a bit yeasty. Dusty malty taste, vaguely bitter. A papery, likely oxidised clusterfuck with trace hops, a terrible misnomer to boot. Ugh.

Bottle - Pale malts, some light flowery and earthy hops. Hazy gold with a rich white head. Orange and caramel and not much hop character, very effervescent and a dry light bitter finish. Not much of an IPA.
