Henry's IPA
A quick post for a rather lacklustre pint. Feeling a little thirsty last Thursday I snuck into the Sir Chritopher Hatton after work. I noticed a new addition I had not encountered before Henry's IPA (3.6% ABV).Brewed by the Wadworth Brewery, this beer is another best bitter dressed up in IPA clothes, much along the lines of Greene King IPA and Well's Eagle IPA.
For those of you who are real tickers/beer geeks here is the lowdown from the website.
HENRYS IPA 3.6% ABV
Named after the Wadworth founder Henry Alfred Wadworth
Palate:Malt dominates initially with dry hoppy finish and biscuity after-palate.
Nose: Floral hops aroma, with light fruit.
Comments: Devizes and surrounding area local bitter. A light and refreshing deep golden coloured ale.
Brewed from Pale Ale Malt (94%) Crystal Malt (4%) and cane sugar (4%) whole cone aroma hops - Fuggles in copper for bitterness (22 - 23 BUs) and character, Goldings in hop back for aroma. Primed with liquid cane sugar for secondary fermentation in cask.

The website is actually quite useful if you are a home brewer as you can easily use the information to devise clone of their beers!

Dishwater. My local's saddled with it a.t.m.
One of the best I.P.A's I have tasted and I have tasted a lot. Knocks spots off of Green Kings & Charles Wells I.P.A's
More flavour and presented well in a Wadworth Henry's glass.
