Two different types of hoppy pale beer were blended to form Old IPA. The first, a West Coast-style IPA with Kiwi hops, fermented with ale yeast and matured for 23 months in neutral oak barrels with our house culture of wild yeast and bacteria. The second, an approximation of an IPA recipe from 200 years ago, hopped with huge quantities of whole leaf East Kent Goldings and fermented in neutral oak barrels for 22 months. The resulting blend, bottled in April 2021, is dry, bright and firmly bitter with light refreshing acidity.

750ml bottle from the brewery. Poured a clear golden colour with lots of champagne bubbles. The aroma is vinous with light lemon notes. The flavour is moderate sour, with a fresh, crisp, oaky vinous, dry, spicy lemon citrus palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation.
