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.

From old tasting notes. Brilliant amber orange color. Big rocky beige head. Fragrant spicy hop aroma. Pleasant toasted malt flavor hints at butterscotch and toasted nuts. Smooth and drinkable with a floral hop finish.

Bottled on March 2, 2017. Part of a blind tasting.A bit surprised I had not rated this before, had it plenty of times, but apparently always thought I had rated it and never bothered to rerate.Hazy golden color, white head. Mainly red but also some yellow apples, sweet, fruity scent. Low bitterness. Red apples, sweet taste. Lacks balance due to no hop character and very mild maly. A bit too fruity.

0,5 l bottle. Pours clear golden amber with a finger of frothy off white head. Good head retention, some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of biscuit and crystal malt, earthy and grassy hop notes in the background. It’s light sweet and medium bitter. Medium body, slick texture and quite lively carbonation. I would hope for a bit more hop character, but it’s drinkable.

Clear, deep gold to copper colored, medium white frothy head, nice lacing. Aroma is of malt, biscuit, light caramel, citrus lemony and herbal, light grassy notes. Taste is medium sweet malt and biscuit, bit caramel, moderate lemony-orange citrus, bit fruity and grassy hoppy notes, medium bitterness, dry finish. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, oily. Not as hoppy as American IPAs but a proper Englishman!

On tap (from keg) at Ox Row Inn. Cloudy pale copper with a decent head. Perhaps I am too used to New World IPAs, but for me this is all malts and not enough hops. It’s OK, just a different interpretation of the style.
