The third so-called IPA that I had today. OK to drink with a fiery curry but not what I would call an IPA. Pint in the Moghul Rooms, Towcester.

Keg at Kappad restaurant, High Wycombe, 04/10/23. Clear golden with a just off white covering that retains well. Nose is soft malts, light floral notes, modest citric zest. Taste comprises light breads, hint of caramel, grass, grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Not terrible ... as good a thing to sip with a curry as a Cobra etc.

Pint, draught at Kayal's Herb in Leicester. Clear amber-gold body, low white head leaving dotted spots on the glass. Moderate smell of grass and rice. Flavoured with mid-sweet maize, ripe lemon, and rice. Bittersweet ending. Fair enough with our spiced vegan food. (Leicester 08.07.2022).
