Bacchus Batches Luplin Fix
India Pale ales were created by Hodgson ’ s brewery to provide British troops stationed in India with English ale as well as to provide the shipping industry with cargo on their return trip from England to India. This beer had to be robust to withstand the long voyageelevated heat and constant motion of the ship. At the time of its creation IPA was considered a “ light ” beer due to the primary use of pale malts and high attenuating yeasts it tended to be drier and less full bodied than the brown beers of the day. It ’ s characteristically an amber to copper colored beer with assertive hop bitterness and a dry finish. English versions have less hop flavor and aroma and are darker in color than their American counterparts.
