When Daniel Thwaites was embarking on his brewing career, the INDUS would have been voyaging to the East Indies – trading Lancashire cotton for exotic Eastern delights. Our INDUS Pale Ale celebrates ales of that period with a refreshing brew enriched with abundant hops for flavour that stays fresh and crisp to the finish.
Refreshing amber ale, brewed with four hop varieties for superb taste and aroma.

Bottle 500ml (S-Market, Pori)
Clear amber color, small white head. Aroma is grassy and a bit cardboardish. Medium-bodied. Fruity hoppyness but also some buttery notes. Berryish. Lingering bitterness. Quite robust for being English type IPA of this ABV but somewhat restless.

Bottle from Tesco, Longford [190214]
Dark amber, clear, frothy white head, some lacing
Aroma of fruity caramel malts, soft orange, soft peach, sweet fruits, barley sugar
Taste of orangey sweet fruity malts, dab of mango and peach, barley sugar malts, mainly sweet fruity malt, slight hop bitterness
Palate - soft carb, medium body, oily texture, fairly sweet palate. Finish as main flavour, soft bitter hop, oily sweet malty finish
Overall - Reasonably good for a supermarket beer, seemed better to me than the very low rates on here

Duft av bitterhet. tynt dekkende skum, hengende langs kant. Klar gyllen farge. Frisk og lett drukket med en litt tørr bitter ettersmak.

I’m very glad I read the description prior to opening this one, because as an ESB, this makes sense. Good balance and strong malt backbone without ignoring the spicy hop character. Amazing finish that keeps you wanting another gulp.

500 ml bottle. Dark golden body with a moderate sized white head. Light aroma of caramel with a hint of fruit. Flavor has sweet malt, caramel and some kind of metallic bitterness. Medium body and moderate in aftertaste. This is not an IPA at all, even in accordance with British definition. Drinkable, but not very exciting as a bitter either. Below average.

Aroma: Metal, earth and grain.
Appearance: Clear copper body with a thin off-white head. Lively carbonation. Nice lacing.
Taste: Muted grapefruit and herbal notes, but there’s a metallic taste that ended up getting in the way of any other flavours that were trying to come through. Bitter finish.
Palate: Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Lively carbonation.
Overall: A bit thin and dull, with an off-putting metallic taste.
