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.

Nice enough IPA, milder than most. Decent hops throughout, bitter finish. Not much on character or complexity.

Yhis IPA poured a nice deep copper colour with a rocky, white head. To the nose there are scents of hopps, citrus, juniper and grass. First taste is smooth and a little watery on the finish. Malty taste at first developing to a slight hopp bitterness thats more sweet than bitter. Finish is malty with flavours of juniper and hopps lingering.

Pours deep bronze into an English pint. Off-white head quickly recedes to nothing. Sweet malts and mild hop aromas. Flat, sour and bland with caramel upfront.

On tap Bury St. Edmunds, England. Pours light/lightly amber in color into the pint glass. Looks almost like a Guinness with it’s extremely frothy head. Taste is rather dull, light bitterness and creamy mouthfeel. I wouldn’t search this out but I’m not upset I gave it a go.

500 mL can from Market Street Wineshop in Charlottesville, Downtown location. Red pour with a medium sized head. Decent retention, low lacing. Fruity, appley, grainy aroma with no bitterness. Same with the taste. This tastes very much like a dry cider to me. Subtle bitterness at the end. Watery, metallic.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Smoky aroma. Malty and dry flavor. Good beer.

Das IPA startet zwar hopfig, dennoch scheint es mir ein eher mildes IPA, ein Massenbier, wie man so sagt. Als Unterton agiert ein frischer Malzton, auch dieser eher mild. Die Hopfigkeit wird im Mittelteil nur minimal stärker, das Bier wird trotzdem etwas würziger. Eine Entäuschung ist der Nachgeschmack, das Malz bleibt zwar konstant, doch die Hopfigkeit und auch die Herbe sacken von einem auf den anderen Moment auf 0 ab, so entsteht ein außerordentlich wäsriger Abgang. Ein meiner Meinung nach deutlich zu mildes IPA. Test vom 29.11.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,9,9,5,11,8 - 8,30

Copper-amber brown color, small white head. Caramelly and skunky hoppy nose. Toffeish, nutty hoppy, slightly skunky and hoppy. Hints of metal. Decent English pasteurised bitter which is only 3,6 %. Similar to some Shepherd Neame’s products.
