Another one of my favourites. Well, not so much a favourite as one I'll buy when I see because I like it and it's rare enough.

I had St Peter's IPA too and thought it had been mislabelled as it didn't really do it for me.

Where does the likes of Greene King IPA fit in? Quite tasty cold, with pizza, but not something I'd go out of my way to buy.

One of a bunch of bland-ish British bitters (Deuchars is another) that confuse the matter further by having "IPA" on the label seemingly just for marketing purposes. Little resemblance to either English or American IPAs.

GK does better on cask, but even then is just adequate.

British breweries have been making IPAs like the Greene King one continuously since at least the early 1930s. In what way does it bear little resemblance to English IPA? It [i:13m0wmv8]is[/i:13m0wmv8] English IPA; historically and verifiably[/url:13m0wmv8] so.
