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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
