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.

Can from Co-op Seaton. Golden amber with white head. Full-bodied, delicious malty base with just the right sweetness and loads of aromatic, tropical fruit and a bitter hoppy finish. Very good!

Can from the Co-Op, Nairn. Clear amber body with a thin head that fades. Low carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of caramel, crystal and lemon. Flavour of toffee, pine and Lockets. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. Sweet but with enough of a hoppy kick to provide the balance.
