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)

(On tap) Memphis. Beautiful, clear amber with a creamy, off-white head. Citrusy, hoppy nose. Medium body with some caramel but otherwise completely dominated by lovely aroma hops (Centennial & Cascade), leaving great accents of both flowers and fruit. Dry and hoppy finish. 280306

Light hazy amber body with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit, some floral, light caramel. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, caramel, some lingering bitterness. Light-medium body, low carbonation. Quite drinkable -- an APA relative to the PNW, but the IBUs show that it is the real deal.

on tap-pours an off white head that laces and gold color. Aroma is pine hops, secondary medium malt. Taste is pine/citrus (cascade) hops-some bitterness, secondary medium malt-sweet. Easy.

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.

Tried again at the Little Rock location. Still a solid IPA. Nashville rating follows. The body was a slightly hazy dark colored orange with a slightly off white head. The aroma was oranges with some caramel and sweet with floral notes. The taste was bitter grapefruit and a hint of oak. This is dry and refreshing. A solid IPA.

Cask Conditioned version - on tap at Boscos Nashville. Amber hue with a creamy off-white head. Excellent lacing that really clings to the glass. Heavy hoppy aroma with hints of herbs, pine, and grapefruit. Also detected a slight grainy and bready malt presence. Good balance on the palate, bitter hoppy finish, but not extreme. Dry and lively mouthfeel. A very good American IPA. Seek out when in Tennessee.

Tasted on tap at Nashville Brewpub. This IPA pours an orange gold color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is floral and piney. A medium bodied IPA. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are piney and citrusy. Nice balance. Smooth taste. Good carbonation. Light to medium bitterness, lots of hop flavors without being overly bitter. Still has a lot of malt character. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
