Based on a classic IPA recipe which uses Imperial Malt along with Chinook, Simcoe and Pacific Jade hops. However the additional special ingredients of Jaggery (raw cane sugar from India bought from Southall market), Jasmine Petals, Cardamom and Coriander produce a distinctive twist to this “Indies Pale Ale”.
The resultant beer is a pale, smooth, full IPA with a distinct bitterness and with a hop aroma that is enhanced by a touch of the exotic!
Harper Arms Rating (5=Tribute, 1=Carling): (4 / 5)
More flavor than a traditional IPA without the over whelming hoppy punch of some of the craft beer IPA’s.
An awesome beer. I would have probably rated it (4.5 / 5) but apparently The Harper Arms is a democracy.
Really nice. I note that this is know available in bottles from our local village shops 🙂
