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)

Another boring beer from these guys. Clear amber pour with minimal ring of white head. Very hoppy with some honey notes. Fair IPA, but nothing special

nqualls (1452) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - AUG 25, 2008
On tap at Nashville location. Poured an amber color with little head. Aroma was citrus hops and pine. Flavor was well balanced with good malt profile and some more of the citrus/pine hops. Good beer.

jzzbassman (1256) - New Albany, Mississippi, USA - JUN 8, 2008
On tap at Memphis location. Poured an amber-gold with minimal head. Aroma is hoppier than the flavor, which is just an average IPA with a dull finish. Average, and far from intensely hoppy.

travita (2535) - Frisco, Texas, USA - MAY 29, 2008
Golden in color with a decent head. Medium hoppiness in the smell and the taste along with flowers and a little pine. Bitterness level seems about right.

bleeng (1085) - Huntsville nowhere near Beersel, Alabama, USA - MAY 13, 2008
4/16/08 on tap at the Little Rock Boscos. Dark gold, hazy, well carbonated and very cold. Fresh hop nose. Full hoppy, bitterness taste with a lingering bitter mouth all the way down. Well done solid IPA-just do something about that serving temperature.

CaptBier (315) - Birmingham, Alabama, USA - MAY 1, 2008
Draft. Rich copper color. Very clear with thick foamy head. Nice sweet hop aroma. Taste is very pleasant with sweet hops and slight floral notes. A very nice IPA. We also tried their cask conditioned version. Nice light floral hoppy start but the finish brings it down probably due to the cask.

hillfiiiiire (323) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - MAR 21, 2008
On tap at Memphis location. It was a hazy amber color without any head. There was a nice floral in the nose and a hint of sweetness. There’s a nice balance on the flavor between the hops with continue with the floral appeal and the sweet malts. It’s actually very well done here. Clean, dry finish. I’d have to say I prefer Boscos’ Hopgod offering though. Also, and I noticed this with all the Boscos beers, the beer seemed more watery than it should have been. But still good, if that can work.

troyc (2014) - Oklahoma, USA - DEC 21, 2007
(Tap) Pours an amber color with a small off-white head. Firm, hoppy aroma. Balanced hop taste, with some citrus and pine notes. Malty backbone brings some biscuit notes into the picture as well. Average palate and mouthfeel, with rather low carbonation. A solid IPA.
