Franciscan Well Chieftain IPA is a hugely popular IPA, and Franciscan Well’s answer to Ireland’s growing demand for IPA style beers. IPA’s are traditionally high hopped to deliver intense bitterness that lingers on the palate which usually limits what you can drink or taste after it.

With Chieftain IPA, Shane wants everything an IPA has to deliver, but he wants you to be able to enjoy another beer after it. Chieftain IPA is a great stepping stone into the land of big and bitter.

Keg pint @ The Riverbank, Shrewsbury for my Mum's 75th birthday. Pours a clear golden amber, white head. Fruity sweet sappy orangey impressions, nicely flavoursome, pretty decent.

Bière bue au Celt à Dublin. Petite pression sans prétention mais assez fraîche et houblonnée, agréable. Bonne surprise.

On cask at Bohemian Pub, Phibsborough - lovely rich red, bit white top. Massive citrus bomb, loads of malty caramel and dates. Lush.
