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) 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

argo0 (9034) - Washington DC, USA - AUG 1, 2005
Light hazy amber body with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit, some floral, light caramel. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, caramel, some lingering bitterness. Light-medium body, low carbonation. Quite drinkable -- an APA relative to the PNW, but the IBUs show that it is the real deal.

on tap-pours an off white head that laces and gold color. Aroma is pine hops, secondary medium malt. Taste is pine/citrus (cascade) hops-some bitterness, secondary medium malt-sweet. Easy.

Tmoney99 (6894) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - SEP 9, 2007
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.

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.

BBB63 (4939) - La Porte, Indiana, USA - JUN 21, 2003
Cask Conditioned version - on tap at Boscos Nashville. Amber hue with a creamy off-white head. Excellent lacing that really clings to the glass. Heavy hoppy aroma with hints of herbs, pine, and grapefruit. Also detected a slight grainy and bready malt presence. Good balance on the palate, bitter hoppy finish, but not extreme. Dry and lively mouthfeel. A very good American IPA. Seek out when in Tennessee.
