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.

Slightly hazed amber with a good lacy head. Orangey hops with a caramelly malt. Not really hoppy enough for an IPA, but could pass for a good APA.

There is a nice, lasting head. Copper body. It's a very soft beer on the palate. Slightly soapy and flowery aroma. It isn't aggressively hopped at all (despite their description as being aggressive.) High carbonation lends to the softness of the palate. A good beer, but not an IPA.

Pours with an amber body topped by a thick head with some lacing. It’s sweet and malty to start with a slight grapefruity hoppiness, then finishes bitter and piney from the hops. Medium bodied, slightly dry and slightly tingly.

Sampled on cask while at the brewpub. Poured with a hazy dark orange body. Aroma of flowers and light citrus. Also some caramel. The taste had bread brust and light honey. Decent IPA.

Last beer I had at NoogFest - luckily the numbers I wrote down were readable. Otherwise I could tell you that the beer was apparently "clully", "Whittle", as well as "hoopy". It also had a "decent Illecc", as best as I can tell from my notes.

Orange coppery pour, off-white head. Sweet malty mouth, with woody hops, but thin. Moderate bitterness. Definitely more of an English IPA than American.

Tap. Floral citrus hop aroma with yeast notes. Pours copper, nut brown with a creamy tan head; creamy lacing. Mild hop flavor with a creamy malt-yeast finish. Medium bodied and creamy.

re-rate on cask at Noog 2006. Appearance was gorgeous. My first cask anything and i had heard it would be flat and warm, and it was not. it gave this beer an amazing appearance of completely opaque orange with very thick full almost nitrous like head. aroma was perfume and pine, lots of floral aroma to it. flavor was very smooth and had some grapefruit, cirtus, some pine, and the same floral profile to it. verygood malty flavors. i enjoyed this a lot more than off the cask.
