"Also listed at the VOLO Cask Situation as simply: Church Key 'Pale Ale'. I sampled off tap at Smokeless Joe's under the title: 'Church Key INDIA Pale Ale'...
A glossy (looks iced over) appereance. No real head, but a small, floating bit of bubbles, looks like spit actually. First impression is a refreshing bit of amber malt in the front. Aroma is still nill (probably served a little too cold). I wasn't all too happy once it warmed though, the aroma that would finally present itself was stale and weak. None too inviting. The malt became increasingly carboardy. This isn't much of an IPA - not British style, not new age style - this isn't really too distant from macro IPA excuses. Maybe under another name I could be more lenient, but this has no hops what so ever, and the malt couldn't do much to cover for that. Also, a very grainy finish which was neither much pleasant. "
