A tribute to the storied ales that journeyed to India during the British Victorian era, this beer encapsulates the essence of a bygone age.
Crafted to withstand the rigors of long sea voyages and the sweltering heat upon arrival, these robust brews were meticulously designed with elevated alcohol content and a generous infusion of hops. Our IPA is full-bodied and powerful, showcasing a strikingly bitter finish that will satisfy even the most discerning hop enthusiasts.
Brewed with a carefully curated selection of the finest Pale Ale, Maris Otter, Wheat, Crystal, and Cara malts, this exceptional brew is heavily hopped with a harmonious blend of English Goldings, Challenger, and Fuggles hops. The result is an IPA bursting with vibrant hop character, rich aromas, and complex flavours that dance on your palate.
Named after a stunning fishing spot in Karnataka, Southern India, where Jem spent countless hours casting his line in the breathtaking Mekedatu Gorge during the early 2000s, this IPA also pays homage to a legendary tale. It is said that a goat once leapt across the river to escape a leopard at the gorge's dramatic 150-foot drop—a breathtaking sight reminiscent of Cheddar Gorge, but with the added allure of a flowing river.
At 5.5% ABV, this proper English IPA invites you to embark on a journey through history, capturing the spirit of adventure in every sip. Cheers to a legacy of bold flavour!

bottle from Darts Farm (08/2010). Hazy amber-colour, large and creamy head, citrusy nose. Rather shy malt base with dry and bitter hops that have a citrusy character. A bit thin, but with a clear presence of alcohol. A rough diamond.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is mild yeasty and crisp citrusy hoppy. Sweet fruity, light malt base. Lingering citrusy fruity and sweet into a slight bitter finish. Nice one.

Bottled bought at GBBF 2010. A dark golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of spices, malt, and sour vommit. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, elderflowers, spices, and caramel, leading to a dry roasted finish.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours a clear deep golden with a huge and frothy off-white head leaving quite some lacework. Typical British hops in the nose. Light body, very smooth mouthfeel, sweet fruit and a little licorice. Quite some bitterness in the finish. A decent drinker though. 100910

Medium offwhite head. Amber body. Vague floral fruity aroma with citric notes. Dry-sweetish mango and citrus taste with malty notes. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Fullish body. Dry citric floral aftertaste with grassy strawy notes. Toffee, alcohol and perfume can also be made out. Decent, but weird, and not entirely successful. (0.5l bottle, RealAle.com.)
