When Daniel Thwaites was embarking on his brewing career, the INDUS would have been voyaging to the East Indies – trading Lancashire cotton for exotic Eastern delights. Our INDUS Pale Ale celebrates ales of that period with a refreshing brew enriched with abundant hops for flavour that stays fresh and crisp to the finish.

Refreshing amber ale, brewed with four hop varieties for superb taste and aroma.

Duft av bitterhet. tynt dekkende skum, hengende langs kant. Klar gyllen farge. Frisk og lett drukket med en litt tørr bitter ettersmak.

I’m very glad I read the description prior to opening this one, because as an ESB, this makes sense. Good balance and strong malt backbone without ignoring the spicy hop character. Amazing finish that keeps you wanting another gulp.

500 ml bottle. Dark golden body with a moderate sized white head. Light aroma of caramel with a hint of fruit. Flavor has sweet malt, caramel and some kind of metallic bitterness. Medium body and moderate in aftertaste. This is not an IPA at all, even in accordance with British definition. Drinkable, but not very exciting as a bitter either. Below average.

Aroma: Metal, earth and grain.

Appearance: Clear copper body with a thin off-white head. Lively carbonation. Nice lacing.

Taste: Muted grapefruit and herbal notes, but there’s a metallic taste that ended up getting in the way of any other flavours that were trying to come through. Bitter finish.

Palate: Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Lively carbonation.

Overall: A bit thin and dull, with an off-putting metallic taste.

Nose is some hop sack, sweet malts,slight hint of white peach. Taste is classic English hops, light bitterness, slight citrus. There is a slight medicine finish which fades quickly. It’s a very ordinary beer. I can’t recall it as soon as it’s left my pallet.

0.5l bottle. This is a crystal clear golden one with a small quickly sidesticking and light lacing white top. Low aroma, some light burned and floral caramel with traces of soap and something slightly herbal. Mild and non-extreme. The taste is also mild, blend and definitely English styled. More of a bitter if you ask me with soft traces of caramel and un-ripe zest. It has a decent bitterness, but it's kinda boring-bitter. Dare I say British-bitter? All in all, drinkable with some flavor, but dull and I would definitely not call this to invigorating. 19.01.2013
