From the brewer

By the late 18th Century, the British were established in India and needed beer. Brewing in India was impossible (it was too hot and beer shipped overseas spoiled on the journe)y. By brewing a stronger version of Pale ale by increasing the alcohol content & adding hops to the beer container, the beer arrived in Calcutta in fine shape – clear, strong, & bitter. Using a combination of hops Chuckanut IPA is easy to drink balancing bitterness with a sturdy malt flavor.

Who's been drinking this

Biscuity, mellow, lots of caramel. Hops on the grassy side and significant, but not unpleasant. Another really good beer from Chuckanut, who apparently can do no wrong?
