What Is IPA Beer?
IPA beer, or India Pale Ale, is a hop-forward style of pale ale known for its bold aroma, fruity flavour and refreshing bitterness. Depending on the hops and brewing method, IPA beer can taste citrusy, tropical, piney, floral, resinous, juicy or bitter.
In simple terms, IPA beer is ideal for anyone who enjoys bold flavour. Some IPAs are crisp and bitter, while others are soft, hazy and packed with tropical fruit notes. That variety is exactly why IPA has become one of the most exciting beer styles in the world.

Session IPA, Hazy IPA, DDH IPA & Double IPA
Session IPA
Session IPA delivers the hop character of a classic IPA but with a lower ABV, making it lighter, refreshing and easier drinking. Beavertown Neck Oil is one of the best-known examples, with strong demand around Neck Oil IPA and Neck Oil Session IPA.
Hazy IPA
Hazy IPA is soft, juicy and often bursting with tropical fruit flavour. Expect notes of mango, pineapple, peach, citrus and passion fruit, with a smoother bitterness than traditional IPAs.
DDH IPA
DDH stands for double dry hopped. A DDH IPA uses extra hops during dry hopping to create bigger aroma and flavour. These beers are often intensely fragrant, juicy and full of hop character.
Double IPA
Double IPA, also known as DIPA, is stronger and more intense than a standard IPA. Expect higher ABV, bigger hop flavour and a bolder drinking experience.

IPA Beer Flavours: What Should You Expect?
IPA beer is all about hops, and hops can create a huge range of flavours. Depending on the beer, you may find sharp citrus, juicy tropical fruit, floral notes, pine, resin, herbs or stone fruit.
If you’re new to IPA, a session IPA or hazy IPA is usually a great place to start. If you already enjoy bold bitterness, a West Coast IPA or double IPA may be more your style.
For drinkers who prefer crisp, clean beer styles, our Lager Collection is also worth exploring.
Pale Ale vs IPA: What’s the Difference?
Pale ale and IPA are closely related, but they are not exactly the same. Pale ale is usually more balanced and less intense, while IPA is typically hoppier, more aromatic and often more bitter.
Pale Ale
Pale ale usually has moderate hop flavour, gentle bitterness and a balanced malt profile. It is often a good choice for drinkers who want flavour without too much intensity.
IPA
IPA beer usually has a bigger hop aroma, more bitterness and a bolder flavour profile. It is ideal for craft beer fans who enjoy citrus, tropical fruit, pine and punchy hops.
In short, IPA is the louder, hoppier cousin of pale ale. The one who turns up to the BBQ with a playlist and strong opinions on crisps.
