Like anything in life, to create something of rare quality you need the finest quality ingredients, and this philosophy not only applies to our beers, it extends to our farm animals too. Our herd of Longhorn cattle that reside on the farm at Purity are a beautiful thoroughbred herd. These heritage beasts with their magnificent horns, the best-balanced character graze on the luscious green grass of our Warwickshire farm and feed on our finest spent grain Just like our cattle Longhorn IPA is full of character taking only the best characteristics of American and English Pale ales, combined with enticing hop aromas, sweet rye malt backbone and decisive bitterness that all balance together to produce a beer that is bred to perfection.

Oct. 2016: Keg half pint, as Purity Longhorn IPA Unfiltered, at The Fellow, King’s Cross. Deep golden colour, white head, nice lacing. Moderate but nice hoppy aroma. Distinctly hoppy flavour, not too sweet, well balanced, very drinkable.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Pours a clear golden/amber colour with a medium sized throthy white head. Citrus and tropical fruit aromas and a hint of caramel. Taste has the same notes as the aroma, more citrus and tropical fruits, a bit more caramel and a fair amount of peppery spice. A touch of sweetness but nicely balanced with the hops. Medium body, fairly low carbonation and smooth oily mouthfeel. Decent beer.
