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 handpump at the brewpub, Oakham, Rutland 23-01-09 Pours mid amber with a clean white head, again like the ’Ten Fifty’ had before this was in excellent condition , but then it should be at the brewpub. Some light hops and a touch of malt on the nose. This beer is crisp in the mouth, nice fizzy bitterness. The taste is more tingly than tangy, but its malty, quite fruity and not at all bad. A6 A5 F6 P3 OV13 3.3 Had this again at The Brewpub, Oakham, Rutland, 14.05.11 Gold with white head. This is an easy drinking session beer, decently bitter with some citrus fruitiness A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1 3.3 first time 3.1 second time, given 3.2.
