English Fuggles, Goldings and hops blended with Pale and Crystal malts to recreate the taste of an original 1800's English IPA. A style of beer that was brewed to be transported to India, hence the name.

Bottle conditioned. Pours a cloudy amber with a white, dense frothy head.
An earthy and fruity aroma of Fuggles and Golding hops with an underlying malt backbone.
The malt actively counteracts the hops to produce a nicely balanced flavour with a bitter hit at the end.
Close to a cask conditioned feel from the bottle.
Them Yanks can't produce a real EIPA like this.
