Henry's IPA

Tap to rate

Henry's IPA is named after founder Henry Alfred Wadworth. The brewery describes it as a traditionally crafted India pale ale and an easy-drinking session beer of modest strength. Brewed with pale ale and crystal malts and hopped with Fuggles and Goldings, it pours light copper. The aroma is gentle and malty with a little hop. The palate is clean and light, with cereal and biscuit notes and a classic English hop flavour, ending in a crisp, lingering bitterness. Flavour and character are malt-led.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
