Commercial Description:
Traditionally made strong & highly hopped so it would keep on its long journey, from England to India during British rule. Ours is a wonderfully bitter beer with a spicy aroma, some fruity characteristics and a lingering hop finish. A great aperitif!

CO2 and cask tried on separate visits. Has a magnificent cloudy orange haze from the tap. Crisp and frothy, dank, bitter, dry, really wonderful in all aspects. Spicy pine needles invite the nose, fresh dryhopped crisp juiciness lingers on the tongue. Pungent and dank, with fresh crisp citrus and melon. Near perfect IPA.

On draft at the brewpub. Pours a slightly cloudy orange honey with a medium white head. Nice fresh aroma of grapefruit citrus, pine and mango. Taste of freshly squeezed grapefruit, mango and pine. Very nice.

On tap at the brewery. Great fruity resinous hop aroma. Grapefruit and orange rind. Spicy and floral, sweet caramel malts. Orange amber clear with foamy lacing off-white head. Medium-heavy watery body with medium carbonation. Grassy fresh hops and bitter from the start, with decent caramel sweetness and graininess. Bitter, albeit smooth, all the way from start to finish. Sharp grapefruit rind and ozone, grassy. Great puckering chalky bitter after.

Tasted at Jupiter beerfest. This was actually quite good! Orange pour wtih a nice head. Aroma is full of citrus hops. I get lots of different citrus, grapefruit, lemon and calamondin. Flavor has a great hop bite full of grapefruit peel and some nice malts to finish this one off...yum.

Poured a beautiful amber/orange, with a good head even from a growler. There was a lively carbonation that lasted through the beer and there was lacing left on the glass. The aroma is grapefruit and piney hops, just awesome and very refreshing. The beer is bitter, but a nice bitter that melds perfectly with the maltiness. The beer finishes smooth, not bitter like some IPA’s. They hops last the whole way through the beer.

Hazy light amber with a thick head. Bright hop aroma with hints of wood, nice citrus. Smells awesome. Dry, pithy, herbal with just a hint of almost fruity sweetness. Really nice example.

Tap at JCBF09. Wonderful smelling IPA with a hazy burnt orange color. Nose is fantastic with lots of floral and citrus hops, like smelling fresh grapefruits and apricots. Taste is very hoppy but not near as bitter as I was expecting, very well balanced with alot of lasting caramel. Hits of orange and a unidentifiable spiciness make this quite complex and different. Very very good.
