India Pale, it's a style of ale that became popular with British and Indian troops during the imperial days... It's an ale but it's light and refreshing like lager, yet more flavourful like bitter... I generally like them!

The troops and staff out in India wanted something safe and refreshing to drink, the brewers added loads of hops as they acted as a preservative for the beer on the long journey over to India.
Burton made great IPA's as the well water was high in the right minerals to give it the distinctive taste and aroma

I have read on more than a few occasions that burton water is considered the best in the world for brewing due to its mineral content.

It is very high in gypsum, most breweries now "burtonize" their water by adding the minerals to it, the Burton breweries still draw the water up from the old wells. :-)

We have a problem with "Gypsums" up here too, always raiding your garden for valuable minerals..... Oh wait that's something else all together?
