Commercial Description:
Seasonal IPA Series This I.P.A. recalls ships stocked with beer for the military saling from England along longitude 4 20 to the far-flung outposts of the British Empire. Generous amounts of imported British malts and hops provide an exquisite balance to Calcutta 420 while "Roundin' the Horn."

This was not good! I got it at the bargain table at the local BevMo, and I know why. Word must have gotten round that this beer sucked! If you are looking for an IPA with noticable hops, do not drink this. Thank You.

Everything El_Borracho said...plus a strange hint of floral mustiness in the background. An English style IPA from a brewer in the heart of the So-Cal American Imperial IPA birthplace? Why?

22 oz bomber. Caramel malts... some more caramel malts... and another dose of caramel malts thrown in for good measure. There are some light floral hops that appear in the finish. This one just seems like it went from Cali to India and back again.

Aroma is mild with flower and candle scent. Appears a murky orange with a fluffy film of head. Flavor is of tart and faded hops in addition of flower and hyacinth.

Bottled. Pours a medium brownish/orange color with a little red around the edges. English smelling hops right up front with that sweet caramel like aroma. Hoppy and bitter right up front with a little hint of sweetness. Good malt balance with moderate bitterness. This stuff is pretty good, I’m surprised it is rated less than a 3.

22 oz bottle. Pours an apricot color with a thick, bubbly head. Aroma is white grape and peach. Dull flavors are balanced with stale hops and mango flavored hops. Not too good at all.

Bottle from DarkElf. This is a poorly executed IPA. Light to medium golden in color and clear. Fair white head that fades rather quicklywith no lacing left behind. The aroma is seemingly adjunct laden and reminds me of some malt liquors. Medium bodied with fair carbonation. Flavor is sickeningly sweet, again running towards a malt liquor. Hop balance isn’t there.

Bottle: Hazy amber gold color, puffy and sticky white head. Nose of honey and sweet unfermented wort and earthy hops, light toast. The flavor is a bit skunky and "hashish" with clamy flavors in the finish. Odd bird here.
