You won’t find any nonsense here, our IPA is a proper IPA. And in cask too, the way it should be.
Standing for India Pale Ale, the Joseph Holt IPA is brewed with pale malts which makes for a light, very pale beer. It also packs some very punchy hop flavours thanks to our use of whole leaf aroma hops, lending this sessionable beer a citrusy aroma and fresh taste.
Distinctively Holts, this IPA pays tribute to the traditional way.

Cask at The Lord Moon of the Mall on Whitehall. Pours light amber with a white head. Aroma is floral with a touch of fruit. Med minus body. Flavor is almost tropical fruit - but more likely light pitted fruit. Some citrus. Light caramel. Decently hoppy and moderately bitter.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Amber with a ring of white head; malty aroma; soft and malty in the mouth with a gentle bitterness and a hint of spice. Surprisingly full bodied, and a good standard bitter - but not an IPA!

Cask @ Standing Order, Edinburgh [030413]
Blonde, clear, dense white head good lacing
Aroma of faint pale sweet malt
Taste - Very little initially, quite watery, very light fruits, very soft pale malt, most of the flavour is in the finish, sot cereal
Palate - Thinnish body, little oily. Finish of light fruits, dryish, very soft pale fruit hops. dry tail
Overall - A typical watery bland ’English IPA’ - water and little flavour. It was palatable, I could finish a pint no problem but its boring ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz

Half, handpulled cask at Crown & Anchor (Cateaton Street). Lasting, nitro cream head. Clear amber-gold body. Aroma of fresh fruity hops. Fresh fruity taste with peaches and lemon up front added by grainy malts. Short and subdued bitter ending. Foamy in the mouth. Watered. Clean and easy drinking (Manchester, 21.01.2013).

Consistent IPA character that gives it a drinkable texture, but at the same time it is bland in aroma and taste
