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”.

0.5l bottle. Malty aroma, caramel notes. Light hazy amber color, white head. Malty taste, caramel, light to medium bitter. Light body, thin texture, average carbonation and malty, light bitter finish with caramel notes. Definitely not an IPA, can´t find any hops traces, probably the reason to be listed here as a bitter. Poor.

Bottle, 0.5l. Clear copper pour with one finger off-white head, quickly diminishing. Little to no lacing. Faint nose, undefined, a bit grainy, a bit cardboard, slightly herbal. Thin body with high carbonation. Regular texture. Moderately bitter taste. Aroma is faint and generic. A bit grainy, traces of hops. Cardboard. Slightly grassy and herbal. Wood notes. Mostly bland and unimpressive. Watery and thin - small wonder considering the amazingly low ABV. Overall, meh. Drinkable, but pointless. Boring effort.

Off white fluffy head stayed on a translucent, slightly effervescent copper coloured body. Sweet fruit & caramel aroma with hints of hops. Thin bodied, prickly on the palate. Crisp. Sweet with caramel to the fore with tangy bitter finish.

A very nice session real ale with a good balance of hops and malt. I enjoyed it and would happily drink it again. Nothing spectacular and it could be said to be slightly watery, but drinkable. You don’t always want to drink 8% IPAs and stouts!!!!

Color té, ambar, limpia y de espuma blanca. Aroma cereal, otas de fruto seco. En boca, aguada y con gas abundante. Muy ligera. Sabor malteado, extraño, tostado y con cierto tono artificial, como plástico, poco agradable. Debe ser de lo más barato en UK. Se explica.

Tap. Amber beer, clear, minimal dense head. Malty aroma of candy, caramel. Fruity esters. Light body. Thin texture. The flavour is dryish. Caramel malts cooperate with spicy hops. The ending is empty. No hop kick. So so.

Bottle @ home shared with dad. Clear amber color, average sized off-white head. Smell and taste malts, lightly hops, malt bitter. Oh well, it’s drinkable. Average body and carbonation.

Harat’s stand, Opatovina beer fest, courtesy of Domagoj V., G., and Ogivlado. Poured an old gold body, slightly darker, with a small white head. Dry aroma, herbal touch. Smooth empty dryish taste, vague herbal note, vague maltiness. This is just useless, even for the strength.
