Commercial Description:
British brewers of colonial times utilized the preservative qualities of hops and alcohol to assure that their "pale ale" survived the long trip to colonial India. We believe this to be one of the HOPPIEST brews in the States. ENJOY!

Pours a four finger white head that fades slowly and leaves a good lace. Cloudy light amber color. Piney/hoppy nose. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Flavor is piney/hoppy as expected, lingering bitter finish. Mellows a little as it warms. 12oz bottle part of 12-pak $10.99 Market Basket Concord, NH.

12oz bottle. Poured a dark straw yellow color with a finger of head. Smell was citrus fruit, along with light pine and hoppiness. Taste had a decent hop bitterness with citric flavors of lemon and grapefruit. had a malt sweetness that finished with a nice dry bitterness. Somewhat thin, but with excellent carbonation

Bottle: Poured a golden color with not much head. The aroma was floral and fruity. The flavor was grapefruits, flowers, spiced hops and more citrus. Overall, just an average IPA at best.

Not really what you’d typically think of as an IPA, but very good. It’s not overally hopped (Probably while I liked it so much), so I don’t get the brewers comments about this being the "hoppiest beer in the states." The aroma was piney, and the mouth feel sharp and tingly. Bitterness was subtle, on the back of the tongue. Definitely very citrusy. A nice white head. Would makea good beer on a cold summer night.

Draft. The waitress brought me the wrong beer...oh well. Fairly typical in appearance for a pale. Nothing to exciting in the aroma, but does have some slightly floral notes. Taste is more along the lines of an APA. I love the comment, "We believe this to be one of the HOPPIEST brews in the States." Haha, that’s a good one.

12 oz bottle. Pours a pale golden color with small white head. Aroma is piney, sweet, fruity, floral, but weak. Taste piney, bland, floral, mild hop balance. Body is light and watery. Very weak IPA.

Bottle... Poured a hazy, yellow-gold with a white head--nice lacing. Floral hops on the nose and maybe fresh herbs and fruit. Dry palate with mostly hops and candy sweetness probably from the malt and fermentation. Finished crisp with crackers and barley-grains.

Disappointing. Good golden color. Not much head. Plain taste. Not that hoppy as to be expected from an IPA
