English IPA

English IPA is a traditional version of the India Pale Ale style with moderate to assertive British hop character balanced by a firm malt backbone. Originating in the 1800s as a higher-hopped pale ale designed to survive long sea voyages to British colonies in India, it features earthy, floral, and spicy hop notes from traditional British varieties like East Kent Goldings and Fuggles, complemented by biscuity, toffee-like malts.
