194/3911) Home: Allsopp's India Pale Ale by Samuel Allsopp & Sons of England: ****; 5.6%; pours a translucent copper; malty and herbal – smells like my kitchen post mashing; wonderfully aggressive maltiness with earthy spice notes; I hear tell this is available on cask in the U.K. which must be wonderful; first shipped out of Liverpool in 1822;
