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)

I’ll have to say that this is one of the better IPAs I’ve had brewed in the South. Nice level of hoppiness, great carbonation.

Draft sample at SBGF07. Poured clear copper color with a moderate fizzy white head that diminished slowly with good lacing. Heavy sour citrus hop aroma. Medium body with slick texture. Medium bitter flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.

charcot25 (181) - Cordova, Tennessee, USA - MAY 30, 2007
On tap at the Memphis location. Bright gold with thin head. Very typical citrus and pine aromas. Tastes a bit sweeter than most IPA’s yet no as balanced as some. Finishes with lingering bitterness.

a very decent IPA. Bitter, flavors of carmel, oat, nutmeg, and citrusy piney sappy hops. a little thin but a smooth mouthfeel overall.

this was an aight ipa that i had on tap at the litle rock boscos. Not as good as the hopgod as far as pure hoppiness but it did have a bigger malt base to it so it was more well balanced.

kseecs16 (1084) - Naperville, Illinois, USA - FEB 22, 2007
Cask, in Nashville. Nice copper color, a t bit hazy with no head. Floral citric hops dominate the aroma. A pleasant flowery flavor, a bit sweet, grapefruit comes to mind. Not particularly bitter, but it does leave a lasting impression. Smooth creamy feel on this medium bodied beer.
