Commercial Description:
No mere beverage could satisfy the thirst of the courageous and gallant soldiers who stood guard over the colonies of the British Empire. Their thirst could only be quenched by a full-bodied hearty Ale; an Ale balanced with rich flavorful hops. We are proud to offer our interpretation of this English style India Pale Ale for those who loong for the time when once your duty was complete, the taste of a fine Ale was reward enough for a job well done.

Funky English hop aroma sits above a light golden ale. Frothy head is quickly gone. Watery texture gives way to a grassy, fuggles infested IPA. Slight caramel, mild apple and pear, malty with lots of resin. Lingering pleasant hops. All English all the way. F me, I like this. it’s not a citric bomb, but it is a quaffer, and tasty.

This is the hoppy beer for the cross over beer drinker. Nothing over the top or offensive, try it . It is good.And I enjoy this. Try it if you can.

bottle, acquired via trade with lmgraz1, thanks lou. pouse a clear, dark straw color with a nice foamy head. aroma and flavor of sweet malt and some hops. very well balanced and slightly dry on the finish. the only negative I found is that for an IPA it could have been a little stronger on the hops. Overall, a very solid offering from Cricket Hill. this would make a wonderful session brew!

Bottle. Aroma of spicy, peppery hops, some pine resin, mild citrus, sweet, caramel malt. Flavor again has some nice pine resin and more toasted malt character than the sweetness in the nose seemed. Still some fruity sweetness lingering though as well. Full bodied and pretty sticky. Maybe it’s not a bruising IPA, but sub-3 average? Shocking!

Pours copper with an off white head. Smells of citrus, pine and wildflowers with some hay in the background. Taste is of grassy hops with some decent citrus notes on the finish.

A good beer - but not necessarily a good IPA. By that, I mean that the taste is very good but not very hoppy (which is typical of an IPA). It’s actually sweeter than hoppier. Very drinkable.

On tap at Nj Brewers Fest. Golden and clear in color with a nice head. Floral hop aroma. Nice hop bitterness. Smooth tasting. Very refreshing beer. Enjoyable and drinkable.

Slightly cloudy golden orange with a big rocky white head. Big salty/spicy hop aroma. Hops right up front in the form of some impressive piney, grapefruit rind flavors. Hops dominate throughout. Slight "off" flavor at the finish, otherwise, pretty good! thanks to Lou18 for the trade.
