Commercial Description:
Originally brewed in England in the 18th and 19th centuries for export to the thirsty colonials stationed in India. Higher in alcohol and hop content (both natural preservatives), this deep amber, fruity ale has a big hop nose and a pleasantly dry finish.

Pours rich amber brown with thin white head. Darker than most IPAs. Aroma is dominated by hops and subtle malt. Flavor begins nice and hoppy with good roasted taste. This IPA is more malty than most, but the balance between hops and malt is very well executed. An nice IPA.

Very nice IPA. Nice hop balance with the malt that makes it a nice drinker. Took home a growler of this.

Great beer. Lots of fresh citrus and pine aroma, the grapefruit flavor is very pronounced, semi-dry finish. Very easy to drink.

From old notes. Gold amber. Big hoppy aroma. Lots of pine and citrus. Nice bitterness, but well balanced. Brought home a growler and drank it quite easily. Very pleasant dry bitter finish.
