One of my favorite IPAs. Almost orange in color. Hopsack aromas. With strong spicy hops flavors of pepper and orange. Caramel and pale malt flavors come through as the beer warms.

Based on a Victorian recipe. Lucky Victorians! This is an amazing hoppy powerhouse of an IPA. Highly recommended.

Pale amber. Thick, malty and bitter, but unfortunately also sourish like a failed lambic. (Two different bottles sampled)

very interesting nose(apples maybe?). has a nice alcholic warmth about it. Smooth underlying malt framed by lots of spicy hops and toasty oak shadings. finish long and a bit tart. has a HUGE head that makes it take a while to pour

Very unique for an IPA. Had a very interesting tartness about it, and nice color. Recommended for you adventurous beer drinkers.

Why can’t a domestic IPA taste this good? Simply incredible....hits the tip of your tongue right away with that hoppy bitterness

I give this one a perfect rating. Reminded me of a weaker version of Piraat. Nice foamy head, beautiful taste with nice bubbles that lasted on the tongue, and what a great hoppy aroma. At first I thought a little pricey, but it was worth every penny. This beer has definitely gotten my interest renewed in IPA’s. Amazing that an English Ale can taste this good and hold its content from 1st sip to last.
