India Pale Ale was originally created to refresh the troops at the height of the British Empire in India. This pale amber classic faithfully re-creates the traditional characteristics of this historic product, well-hopped to leave a pleasant bitterness.

It is a classical British I.P.A. The hop is well balanced with the malt, the color is copper and average carbonation. It is a nice one, 12.03.16, buying it at the ex grain d'Orges, Crissier.

hissing from cap when opening and spilled over a bit when opened. Unusual infected beer like behavior for a fullers.
Flowery hoppy aroma, slighlty herbal, mineral watery malty base , in total a flowery well hopped beer which is very british, aroma hints something tasty and quenching that will go down easily.
flavor is very bitter, very herbal, very hoppy - quite extremely hopped for a london IPA, tastes like an ESB only more flowery hops. You are not in doubt this is an IPA. With this intensity i would've guess american, using european hops. Perfect match with the beer culture in london - low ABV, high drinkability and still tons and tons of flavor. I feel like beer snacks now..

Another incredibly good looking beer. Perfect big white bubbly head and a gorgeous amber pour. Soft malts, solid goldings aroma. Medium bitterness, perfect carb. Quite a bit more bitter than the ususal british ipa we get in these parts, really nice stuff.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dal fruttato. La finezza olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto cristallino. Bollicine fini costituiscono la forma del perlage. Il colore è arancio. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. In bocca l'aroma porta i segni di miele, frutta secca, agrumi ed erbe amare.

Aroma of malt, caramel, some fruits, citrus, floral notes, touch of grass, mild hops. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Typically English, restrained IPA, pleasant and nicely drinkable.
