Green Man India Pale Ale is delectably hoppy with a properly balanced body. Generous hop additions give it a wonderful bitterness and pleasant floral nose, while our combination of traditional British malts creates a rich, satisfying flavor and alluring copper color. This authentic English-style IPA is our flagship ale.

At first sip the full mouth feel is more prominent than the flavor. Not bitter but citrusy slightly orange lemon. I drank it out of the can so not sure about color but can guess it would be Lacey in a pint glass. Would definitely drink again.

I normally do not drink IPAs. Because I think they taste like salt water. But this is one of the best IPAs I’ve ever had. It’s not too hoppy, Has a really nice citrus flavor. It’s not bitter. Two thumbs up.

Above average in all aspects, this one poured a slightly hazy and golden hue with a slowly receding white had. The twelve-ounce can has a "best by" date stamped on the bottom.

Fresh aromas of citrus and berries.

This is described as an English-Style IPA, and the flavor profile largely followed that description with a little American added for good measure. First, the hop profile, while citrusy, slightly bitter, and refreshing, is quite restrained. I think the flavor profile would improve if the brewer added slightly more malt to truly reflect the English style. The body is rather light with a sustained, bittersweet flavor that lingers on the palate. The flavor profile becomes more balanced as the ale warms in the glass.

As with the other beers I have tried from this brewery, it is very good, just not great.

16 ounce draft pour at the mansion served in a pint glass. Bright honey amber in color with off white head. Aroma is sweet tea-like. The taste is semisweet toasted malt with a hint of herbal & grassy hops. Medium bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation and a mostly dry finish. Overall, very good.

dated can pours a rich amber gold with off white head that is adequate...
smells of candy malt and mild traditional hops, UK style by US craft brewmasters
taste is rich authentic malt with balanced classic hop presence. a classic ipa with some great malt base
really smooth as it gets warmer
Highly recommended for classic (British style )ipa fans
