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.

50cl bottle from Morrisons. Amber with a loose white head; some light peppery hop aromas along with some caramel; quite lively in the mouth with orange fruit and some sherbert fizz as well as some dry hops giving a leathery test; the finish is light and refreshing.
