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. (O.G. 1.062 IBUs-50)

Hoppy aroma. Watery, shallow, slightly malty. Dull and boringish. Not too exciting and probably wouldn’t get it again.

curly (2203) - Seattle (Newcastle), Washington, USA - JUN 2, 2009
UPDATED: DEC 7, 2010 Cask pour is clear orange with the creamy looking head. Aroma is oranges. Tastes the same, sometimes I feel that cask takes away flavor and trades it for body. This didn’t seem very hoppy at all. But there was enough bitterness to balance the malt. ........ Sampled at Franklin location. Not cask. Clea gold, creamy white head. Aroma of pineapple, grapefruit, pine needles, floral hop. Taste is decently bitter, resin and herb.

vyvvy (2798) - Florissant, Missouri, USA - MAY 25, 2009
Sampled at Schlafly Repeal of Prohibition festival. Pours copper / orange with a light tan head. The aroma has citric and earthy hops and english yeast. Medium body with light carbonation. The taste is like the aroma. There is also some cracker and sourness. Its okay, but far to British for my liking.

Draft at the Cool Springs location. Eggshell color head that faded and a clover honey color body. Citrus, spice, but muted hops on the nose. Flavor had citrus and spicy hops and some caramel sweetness. Decent bitterness.

AmEricanbrew (4077) - roam, Louisiana, USA - JAN 2, 2009
Draft at Lil Rock, AR. location. Clear amber with a white head. Mild floral hoppy aroma. Medium body and smooth. Good floral hop taste riding on a caramel grainy malt base brew. Good mesh of the caramel sweetness and floral hops here. Perfect brew to wash down one of their tasty pizzas.

On tap in Little Rock. Pours with a large, fluffy, off-white head that leaves lots of lacing and a white ring. Deep golden huee. Aroma is hoppy with spicey and slightly citrusy C-hops. Taste is slightly muddy and minerally with the hops shining through. Lightly fizzy.
