COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
No mere beverage could satisfy the thirst of the courageous and gallant soldiers who stood guard over the colonies of the British Empire. Their thirst could only be quenched by a full-bodied hearty Ale; an Ale balanced with rich flavorful hops. We are proud to offer our interpretation of this English style India Pale Ale for those who loong for the time when once your duty was complete, the taste of a fine Ale was reward enough for a job well done.

Bottle to glass mug. Pours a copper / yellow color with a sparse white head. Doesn’t have much of a hoppy nose to it. More sweet malt flavor than hop. Actually, I don’t get hardly any hop bite or flavors. Pretty uneventful IPA. It’s just kinda...there.

Atom (586) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - JAN 3, 2012
12oz bottle pours a dark amber/orange with a medium off-white head. Aroma is very malty, floral, and fruits. Taste is sweet and malty with an awful mineral bitterness presence. Had another one from this brewery with the same mineral presence. I’m guessing they just don’t have quality water.

jdjuice (258) - Kumamoto, JAPAN - DEC 24, 2011
Tastes like a hoppier hoppy Belgian. A bit sweet, fruity hops, smooth mouthfeel like a duvel or something, but a good deal hoppier. Not bad, an interesting twist on an ipa.

Chalsk (824) - North Caldwell, New Jersey, USA - NOV 26, 2011
Bottle. Pours a golden orange color with a white foam head. Aroma of grapefruit, lemongrass, and caramel. Sweet caramel taste with a hop hit and some notes of grape fruit and lemon zest on the back end. Some funk mixed in.

PorterPounder (3936) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - NOV 25, 2011
Savannah, Ga - Habersham Beverage Warehouse - 12 oz bottle. Murky dark golden pour, Sticky white head that leaves plenty of lacing. Odd, lemony aroma. Flavor has some bready, yeasty flavor, some muted citrus, more lemony than grapefruit-like. Mouthfeel is decently thick.

MadIndian (1728) - Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 10, 2011
It’s alright. Nice prange pour with some hop, spice, and pine flavors and aromas. The only problem I’ve seen so far with this company is the beers are a little thin in the body and taste.

GJF (971) - Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA - OCT 24, 2011
This one tasted more like a cardboardy lager to me than an IPA. Pale yellow, a little grapefruit hop to it, but a cardboard finish. Thin.
