Williams Bros: IPA (5%)
by DanCave on Feb.19, 2010, under Beer Reviews
I needed some toilet roll so I jumped in the car and went to buy some and as usual I managed to come home with some beer.
When I was there I found Williams IPA on sale with Dogma for one pound a bottle on a aisle end. I heard a it Williams IPA (brewed in alloa scotland)was good online on some blogs so thought I would I would give it a go.

Williams Bros IPA
Aparently it was one of four beers by williams beers in the sainsburys beer challenge.
WIlliams IPA smells very fruity and hoppy just like a good IPA should be, it Smells sharp and hoppy with some grapefruit overtones. It doesn’t smell as soft as juipur or deuchars but smells good.
Mmm… I can see why this was among the winners at the beer contest in sainsburys.
Its a really good IPA, and for a single British pound its an absolute steal.
It has a nice range of flavours as it rolls over your tongue, its nice to have a beer which isn’t a one trick pony for flavour. It starts nice and malty and rolls through to bitter and fruity then onto the hops as you would expect. Leaves a nice hoppy after taste.
I’ve been drinking darker more ale’y beers recently and this reminds me than even in winter a good IPA is always a treat.
I suppose the only thing you really want to know is if you should buy some if you see it.
Williams IPA is defiantly a good IPA, its better than a lot of other stuff I try on draught, so yes, buy some especially if its only a quid.
I Bloody love IPA, and this is a good one. Light yellow, very in style. Malty, through to bitter and onto fruity hops, its delicious.
I suspect it might not be bitter enough for some people, but its good enough for me.
