John presents the final Jar of Destiny beer of the year, English IPA.
This beer was a total treat. English IPA is a completely underappreciated style when done right. It's malty and balanced with great old world hop character. Bitterness, minerality and earthy floral hop character all sits on top of a great fermentation profile of unifying complex esters. So much to sip and enjoy with a beer like this.
So key aspects to brewing an English IPA is to not let the malt character get carried away. Good flavorful English Pale Ale Malt, like Maris Otter, is going to do most of the work. You can then accentuate with 5% or less of crystal malts or biscuit malts. But use restraint otherwise the low attenuation of the English Ale strains of yeast will leave the beer a bit too bold.
