COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
During the 1800's, when the sun never set on the British Empire, beer being shipped to the Far East always arrived spoiled. To correct the situation, British brewers added large quantities of hops to their pale ales. (Hops act as a natural preservative in beer). The result is an intensely hoppy amber beer.

AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20

Dogbrick (6022) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - MAY 27, 2003

From a sampler: Pours a goldish orange color with a medium off-white head and thin lacing. Well-hopped aroma. Nice and tart with a medium body, with a full hops flavor from start to finish. The finish is crisp and clean. Nicely done.

kumite56 (467) - Cordova, Tennessee, USA - MAR 29, 2003

A very decent IPA and the best that Boscos makes. This is one of the beers that got me into trying and appreciating good beer. Great hoppy character with adquate malt. Join me at the pub for this refreshing and good beer.

cb (810) - Roeland Park, Kansas, USA - MAR 5, 2003

RAF: This one was the nerdy freshman in a crowd of tall, swarthy seniors, so to speak. Hoppy as all hell but weak as a result...run of the mill.

DaSilky1 (2604) - San Diego, California, USA - MAR 2, 2003

Beer Engine cask (RAF): an average display of spicy fruits and pinapples coming from a golden orange body and beer-engine-fathered head..tangerines clothe the hops tonight..with some malts swimming somewhere in the background..the body is semi-thin..and this is just an average IPA.

While not over hoppy, this is a very good beer and it is quite refreshing - I would love to have another. GABF 2002

Very hoppy and refreshing, but I know you know that. It’s good.

groovinhigh (170) - Asheville, North Carolina, USA - APR 24, 2002

The best micro in Nashville, and one of the better IPA’s being produced on the east coast. Even better from the cask...

mojoman (55) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - APR 4, 2002

UPDATED: JUL 1, 2006 My 2nd favorite Boscos brew that is served year round. Hoppy and tasty. The cask conditioned version allows me to rate it this high.

TAR (2346) - Lafayette, Colorado, USA - NOV 28, 2001

One of the best pale’s in the country. Has one many awards to back it. Bottle conditioning lends a full, creamy palate. Excellent hop character and just enough malt. Try it at the Real ALe Fest. if you don’t believe me.
