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.

Dark copper colour with lasting creamy head. Aroma and flavour have mild fruity hop notes. More sweet malts. Not bad.

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.

Pours a clear copper color from the can. Aroma is a mix of caramel and grapefruit. Taste is bittersweet, bitter at the end with a tart note that lingers. Body is surprisingly light, texture somewhat watery and seems oddly out of place given the rather robust flavors. Grew flat rather quickly. Okay.

Cask in Maynooth, Irish backlog. Ambrée sur col blanc-cassé crémeux. Arôme est finement houblonné, malt fin caramel avec un bouquet modéré de biscuité, impression de feuille sèche et cône houblon en rétro-nasal. Palais est léger maintenant un côté biscuité, amertume noble sur léger fleuri. Effervescence moyenne avec un fini assez plaisant et un effet des plus classique anglais pour cette IPA. Malt anglais perceptible ajoutant une pointe grillée sur la fin.
