Greene King IPA (Cask)

Brewed by Greene King
Style: Bitter
Bury St. Edmunds, England

Cask, Duke, Newcastle upon Tyne. Copper coloured beer with a good steady head. The rest of the story gets really boring: thinnish taste, some British hops...why did I order a WHOLE pint..

Cask at the Anchor Pub, Cambridge: Transparent deep copper with a frothy, dense, well-lacing, cream-colored head. Subtle, earthy hoppy aroma has a touch of toasty caramel malt. Body starts clean, semi-sweet and bitter with some notes of bread and grassiness. Finishes crisp and bitter with a decent balance.

Thin, bland & uninspiring - I know this beer is often poorly kept, but this one wasn’t. It was just very, very dull...

Cask @ Pontefact Castle, London: Amber coloured. Clear. White head. Is light hoppy in the aroma. Has a medium freshness. Is light herbal. Is quite thin bodied. Light bitter and friuty in the end.

Cask. Nicely hoppy aroma, dry hopped? Dark copper colour. Small creamy head. A little thin and watery flavour, but nicely hopped. Thin body. A bit like hop water.

Had this on tap in a pub, a decent bitter beer, dark appearance, bitter isn’t one of my favorite types, but decent in its own right

Cask-conditioned. Fruity aroma and some earthiness. Medium sweetness and quite low bitterness. Odd nutty kind of astringent flavour. Unexceptional but easy drinking session beer. It often tastes stale on cask as there is nowhere for the staleness to hide.

Cask, The Cedars, Leicester. Amber with a small dense off-white head. Aromas are sweet toffee malts with caramel, sulphur and some dry hops. Flavours are sweet light malts with caramel and hints of fruit. Dry on the finish with a chalky aftertaste. Thin, unimpressive and definately not an IPA.
