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 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

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