Pros: Complex malty flavors, dark fruity Yorkshire notes, complex and tasty. Cons: Light on the hops for an IPA.
American beer lovers have this problem. Theyre spoiled on over the top, super-hoppy, intensely bitter India Pale Ales (IPAs for short). And indeed, thats what a lot of American IPAs taste like. But heres the thing. It was the British who ...
Pros: Nice chewy complex malt character... Cons: Malt shouldn't be prominent in IPA---NEEDS MORE HOPS! (LOTS more...)

Pros: Smooth IPA from Britain Cons: Could have used just a bit more brewing for my taste
Samuel Smith's India (Pale) Ale is a fine representative of the craft. I've been impressed by many of the IPAs put out by US micro-breweries like the Wild Goose product. I found the Sam Smith's IPA to have less hops aroma than the Wild Goose product,...
