Kilted IPA
Most brewers know of the India Pale Ale (IPA) story behind the style - being a strong beer, high in bitterness, alcohol and hop aroma (BJCP style guidelines 14A). However as much as we accept this story, there remains some possibility that IPA was supplied to the troops as a finished mid-strength beer while a higher alcohol beverage, in the form of Porter, was supplied to the Officers and gentry. This may account for the multitude of mid-strength commercial IPAs, many of which are award winning ales. This recipe is an attempt at emulating one such IPA, brewed in Scotland.
