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. (O.G. 1.062 IBUs-50)

I’m rating this from memory. I didn’t have my notepad with me. But I can say that this brew is ok, but there are others that I would drink before this one. Not bad, but not great, either.

Poured an amber color with a medium white head. Aroma was pine hoppy witha bit of malt. Flavor was medium hoppiness but not much sweetness to balance it out.. a bit dry..

Pours orange to copper with foamy white head. Fair and thin lacing. Fruity citrus hop aroma. Bitter hop flavor with citrus bite. Medium-bodied and fizzy palate.

Nashville. Some hops evident in the nose. Peach/amber in color, although dimly lit bar conditions made it somewhat difficult to distinguish. No visible carbonation. Excellent lace, though no head. Hops pervade. Creamy. Better than the Big River Thick Brick Red Ale, which was previously the most hoppy beer I had sampled on the evening. Somewhat unbalanced, however. Needs more sweetness. Not bad. Would probably be the Boscos brew I would drink most of if I was a regular.

Bosco's Fred Scheer does an excellent job with this IPA. Hoppy, smooth and the bitter is just right. Very enjoyable IPA.
