Commercial Description:
Ready to buck convention? We took the traditional IPA, originally shipped from Englad to India in the 1700s, and made it bolder and more flavorful - American style. We've added new varieties of highly aromatic American hops to create a distinctive bitterness profile and an incredible hop character. Hop on, hold tight, and enjoy the ride!

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Hazy golden, airy head. Massive aroma of of sweaty lychees. The malt sweetness is dried out by massive amounts of hops. Chewy malt fight an uphill battle against the onslaught of aromatic, juicy piney hops. Really bitter finish. Seemless and fresh, very American in style.

Bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Golden color. Hoppy aroma, with some grass and manure, a bit fruity and resiny, not strong but interesting. Medium body strength, malty, with a lot of toffee, quite sweet, and with a good hopping, a bit fruity. Good.
