Commercial Description:
This copper-colored ale has pronounced Fuggle hop aroma from the time-honored tradition of dry hopping. This ale is the most aggressive house beer and not for the faint of heart. House Brand is also served from a traditional English beer engine.

Draft. Hazy in appearance with a somewhat sweet aroma. This in my opinion is an average IPA. Not too bad though.

Had on tap at Rock Bottom Atlanta in June 2006: Pours a slightly hazy copper orange with a nicely-lacing frothy off-white head. Aroma of soft, piny bitter hops and lightly sweet caramel malt. Body starts lightly bittersweet with some mildly resiny English hops and a slight maltiness. Drinkable, but pretty dull for the style.

dark reddish amber in colr. nice hop bouquet with floral undertones. the hops linger for quite a bit. the best beer of the night but that’s not saying much. that’s why i think i’m rating it pretty high

On tap at Big River. Poured amber with a coppery sheen.. short cap of off-white head. Nose was malt-centric (caramel and toffee) with less hoppage than expected (in the form of floral and faint citrus). Earth and caramel base supported a rather weak hop effort (again the floral and citrus). Medium-bodied and a tad sticky at times. This was powerfully OK.

Tasted on tap at brewpub. This IPA pours a copper gold color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is floral and citrusy. A medium bodied IPA. Malts are fruity and sweet, touch of bread. Hops are grapefruity and floral. Nice balance. Nice hop finish. Crisp and clean. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. <BR ...><BR ...> Cask Version Tasted on cask at brewpub. Pumps a deep orange gold color. Very large sized long lasting white foamy head. Aroma is malty and fruity, with a strong floral hop note. A medium bodied IPA. Malts are earthy and floral, touch of citrus at the front. As usual for a cask beer, it has a full, round and creamy mouthfeel. Touch of wood. Smooth taste. More in the English style of IPA, taste is more earthy and floral than hoppy. Good session IPA. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Cask @ BR: Lightly hazed deep amber color with a very long lasting medium sized off-white head. Light citrus aroma that turns to malty nose. Some dusty dry notes. The flavor was moderately citrusy with some candy notes and sweet caramel. Smooth typical cask condition mouthfeel.
