Hand pulled at the Shakespeare (Summer Row), Birmingham. Ruddy. Standard bitter. God knows why they called it an IPA. Or made it so strong. Disappointed.

On tap at the Magpie. Hazy deep red beer. Good cream coloured head. Light semi dry palate. Good creamy malt with a trace of toffee. Ok orangey hops. mild bitterness. Finishes smooth and semi dry. Reasonably well balanced but as Ian says below it’s not an IPA and was out-muscled by the other IPAs on offer tonight in the Magpie.

Cask handpull at Old Buttermarket, Canterbury. Cropton red rat ipa 5.0%. russet red colour. Ok ish hops. Again not really an ipa just a strong hoppy bitter. Its fine. But acidic on the hops. But ok beer. Good nick 3.3/5
