Wells IPA is a solid brew. It is attractive, tasty and affordable. It isn't quite an elite ale, as it lacks that one of a kind character that sets the best beers apart, but it is quite enjoyable. Definitely worth a try.

Wells IPA
Wells IPA is, according to the can, "brewed in the heart of England." It hails from Bedford, measures a typical 5% and is served in an attractive red and green 500mL can--it is just about as elegant as a beer can can look.
As for the beer itself, it pours a striking rust colour. It is clear with ample head and lace. The aroma, fairly strong, suggests the foresty, floral scent of hops. The flavour begins with a gentle maltiness that is gradually overtaken by a bitter finish. Wells IPA tastes big and bitter, but without the unfortunate over-hopped quality that many so-called West Coast IPAs are prone to. The aftertaste is both bitter and a touch bready.
