Shepherd Neame’s original recipe, the India Pale Ale followed in 1870. The beer style’s origins are rooted in the creation of a heavily hopped beer that would withstand the rigours of arduous journeys to the colonies. A true IPA, it is full bodied, malty and balanced by a mouth-watering hoppy palate and a glorious fresh, spicy aroma. It is hopped at four stages of the boil, with two varieties of Kentish hops – Fuggles and East Kent Goldings.

Cask at The Tichenham Inn, Ickenham. An amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Vague hoppy, malty aroma. Tastes vaguely hoppy, malty, bitter. Shepherd Neame are incredibly mediocre, always have been, I should have known better!

Wetherspoon Beer Festival. Bright amber in colour with a thin head. Fairly malty but has a spicy kick in the palate with a medium lingering bitterness.

Pint at the Parrott, Canterbury. Appearance is amber, with a prominent foamy white head, leaves quite a bit of lacing. Aroma- bitter hops, malt, caramel and toffee. Taste is lots of hop bitterness, pronounced maltiness, raisin and caramel hints. Ok overall.

4.5% version. Kings Head Shadoxhurst. Clear amber lasting white head. Actually quite good. Aroma of faint pear drops but then this bitterness just grows. Very decent. Good even. Nice bitter
