Did you know that IPA stands for Indian Pale Ale, and that it was originally brewed for sale in India, becoming popular in the UK following a shipwreck in the Irish Sea in 1827, when barrels of IPA were auctioned off in Liverpool? IPA is one of Cains’ best selling ales: a refreshing session beer, with a subtle hop aroma and a light, yet full flavour

Cask in Cheshire. Old notes. Typical low-alcohol bitter posing as an IPA. Ok malt flavor, some hops coming through. Low key and not very exciting, but nice enough for the low alcohol.

Cask, Egremont Ferry, Wallasey. Clear amber colour with a small white head. Muted nose with some vague fruit notes. Lacklustre flavour with some sweet malt and very muffled hop. Drinkable but insipid and nowhere near hoppy enough to be considered an ipa. Disappointingly below par. Go for the tt landlord if you’re ever at this spot with its great views of the mersey.

From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is mild fruity. Flavour is the same, rather thin hops profile for an ipa. Mild fruity and light bitterness. Lasting peachy and applefruity into the finish.
