Favourite Beer Style
Trappist Ale.

IPA (India Pale Ale)

English style India Pale Ale.

In general India pale ales are very hoppy, bitter, and higher alcohol content beer.
The high alcohol (now they are found in ranges from about 3.5% to 7%, traditionally they were 6% to 8%) and hop content was used to preserve the beer for shipment to India.
Usually a dark golden colour, often with hints of orange or red, they usually have a thick slightly off white head and are full of flavour.
A strong malt base is needed to offset the hop content and this gives the beer fruity, berry, and bready flavours.
The hops provide a strong mouth drying bitterness which often lingers in the finish.

Beer Quote of the day

A good local pub has much in common with a church, except that a pub is warmer, and there's more conversation.

— William Blake

Not to mention the ales and beers involved.
