| Philip Pirrip | Not Tried | 10 Sep 2013 | Assume this is the same beer as recently reported with poor reviews by correspondent Stephen Harris. Here the pump clips simply described it as Festival Ale American IPA 3.8%. The barman thought it might be a Greene King brew (GK IPA with a bit of added American hops) but appalling to see no declared provenance |

| Stephen Harris |  | 09 Sep 2013 | Rather laughably, this is described as an “American-style IPA”. Personally, I have never come across such a low-strength or bland US IPA. I could not see the word ‘Belhaven’ on the pump-clip, although it might be there. Darkish, with caramel and butterscotch tastes. Just a hint of decent hops. Tastes a lot like the regular Greene King IPA with a dash of Cascade in fact. |
