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)

On tap, Bosco’s, Little Rock. Poured copper, with a ncie white head. Nice flroal aroma and citrusy, malty flavor. The finish is very bitter, with lots of hops. An excellent IPA.

drpimento (1695) - La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA - JUL 27, 2006
more malty and caramely than it’s cask conditioned cousin. The head had a little too much big-bubble foam for me, but the beer is very drinkable. A session brew. A decent amount of hops to compliment that malt. Good beer!

maltdog (587) - Pueblo, Colorado, USA - JUN 26, 2006
Nashville. Light amber, creamy lacing. Pungent PNW hops in the nose; also bready, cheesy, and... post-coital aromatics. Almost-dry, floral and fruity, clean finish, but with brown paper bag and corky/musty aftertaste. Light body features a nitro smoothness. Still, one of their better beers.

beerguy101 (4825) - Newark, California, USA - MAY 28, 2006
Tasted on tap at Nashville Brewpub. This IPA pours an orange gold color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is floral and piney. A medium bodied IPA. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are piney and citrusy. Nice balance. Smooth taste. Good carbonation. Light to medium bitterness, lots of hop flavors without being overly bitter. Still has a lot of malt character. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

heemer77 (4754) - Urbandale, Iowa, USA - MAY 25, 2006
UPDATED: JUN 8, 2008 Tried again at the Little Rock location. Still a solid IPA. Nashville rating follows. The body was a slightly hazy dark colored orange with a slightly off white head. The aroma was oranges with some caramel and sweet with floral notes. The taste was bitter grapefruit and a hint of oak. This is dry and refreshing. A solid IPA.

Braudog (4473) - Hampton, Virginia, USA - MAY 19, 2006
UPDATED: JAN 6, 2008 Draft at the Nashville brewpub, 5/14/06: Nice gluey head on a powerfully dark orange or rust-colored brew. Seductively fruity aroma. Wow ... this is what beer is about. Powerful floral hop bouquet without being overpowering. This is damn near the perfect beer.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - APR 23, 2006
(On tap) Memphis. Beautiful, clear amber with a creamy, off-white head. Citrusy, hoppy nose. Medium body with some caramel but otherwise completely dominated by lovely aroma hops (Centennial & Cascade), leaving great accents of both flowers and fruit. Dry and hoppy finish. 280306
