Phipps IPA, brewed to an authentic 1930s recipe, is a golden beer relying solely on the pale ale malt in its grist for its colour. The classic blend of Goldings and Fuggles hops gives the characteristic English ale flavours to this full-bodied beer. The balance of bitterness and sweetness, allied to a smooth hoppy after-taste, creates a most drinkable pint.

Cask ale, half-pint, shard with Finn at the brewpub in Northampton. A clear golden-brown body under a filmy layer, upper part lacing on the glass. Ripe citrus nose with bread-like malts. Taste of caramel malts joined by ripe lemon and bread. A slight touch of resinous bitterness to the ending. Quite alright. (12.02.2019).

Cask at GBBF 2015 - London. Pours clear gold with a foamy, white head. The nose holds grains, ripe citrus, orange rind. Light sweet flavour with nips of melon, more citrus fruits, pale bread, a little dough. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, more grainy pale bread, ripe lemon. Good enough.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 13/1/2018. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. An inoffensive pale ale, with some sweetish malts, trace of stone fruits and leafy hops and moderately bitter finish. Fine.
