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.

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.

Another boring beer from these guys. Clear amber pour with minimal ring of white head. Very hoppy with some honey notes. Fair IPA, but nothing special

On tap at Nashville location. Poured an amber color with little head. Aroma was citrus hops and pine. Flavor was well balanced with good malt profile and some more of the citrus/pine hops. Good beer.

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.
