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”.

Cask: You'll notice comments from Americans asking where the hops are - This beer is a Brittish Bitter, not an American IPA. Don't expect hops. It seems to be very hit or miss on the quality, but if you're looking for a light tasting ale with little alcohol, this could be your beer.

Caramel in colour, great dense head. Real fruity smell. Very light pub ale with fruity characteristics!

Nice foamy head with a slightly hoppy nose. The flavour is very bitter with a burn't coffee feeling overriding. Below average beer.

A beutiful amber beer with an OK head. It has a slight aroma of hops. The flavor is flat, watery and only slightly bitter for an IPA, but from a very nice hops. I will not categorize this beer as an IPA - because of the lacking bitterness.
