[...] did appear a coincidence, Fergus Fitzgerald, brewmaster at Adnams of Southwold, who had brewed an American IPA in January, was giving a tutored tasting of Adnams beers that night at the brewer’s wine shop [...]

John/Nev Glad you liked the beer. We are working on a beer for the Autumn which is based on this one. Can’t give any more details yet but I think you’ll like it.

American IPA is (was ?) a wonderful beer. As it has a very different character to the standard Adnams beers, it must be a candidate for regular (or at worst seasonal) availability. Like one of the other correspondents I only found it at the Chelmsford beer festival, where it was my beer of the festival. Far more impressive than the other 2009-10 seasonal beers.

As i missed out coming to Southwold to try the American Style IPA,
It was a real bonus to find it at the Chelmsford Camra Winter Beer Festival.
I really beleive that this is the best beer in the world range so far.
The aroma was not as intense as i thought it would be,
But on tasting the beer it has bags of beautiful citrus hop flavour.
And a very pleasant dryish bitter finish.
Overall a lovely balanced beer.

Still trying to find it! Is there anyone in (or near) Norwich that has it?
Horse & Dray didn’t get this one; nor Mustard Pot. Couldn’t find it in Southwold; been and gone at The Star, Wenhaston.

Is this going out through any wholesalers? Waverley say they’re not stocking it and they are my usual source for your beer!

we are using spring barley (variety called Tipple). It’s a very good malting barley and gives a nice base but with the amount of hops we’re putting in I wanted a bigger malt/biscuit flavour to balance it.

What sort of Pale malt do you use?
With Munich in the mix for some extra maltiness I’d assume you use Pearl Barley.
