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.

Draft sample at SBGF07. Poured clear copper color with a moderate fizzy white head that diminished slowly with good lacing. Heavy sour citrus hop aroma. Medium body with slick texture. Medium bitter flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.

On tap at the Memphis location. Bright gold with thin head. Very typical citrus and pine aromas. Tastes a bit sweeter than most IPA’s yet no as balanced as some. Finishes with lingering bitterness.

this was an aight ipa that i had on tap at the litle rock boscos. Not as good as the hopgod as far as pure hoppiness but it did have a bigger malt base to it so it was more well balanced.

Cask, in Nashville. Nice copper color, a t bit hazy with no head. Floral citric hops dominate the aroma. A pleasant flowery flavor, a bit sweet, grapefruit comes to mind. Not particularly bitter, but it does leave a lasting impression. Smooth creamy feel on this medium bodied beer.
