It all started with an epic video game marathon back in 2004.
Rocking blaze-orange homebrew, we saw the foam rings down the glass like tiger stripes. Thousands of batches and tweaks later, the BENGALI still slashes. Tip it back and let gravity do the work. Game on!
Bengali is that go-to IPA you want by the pint. Big tropical hop character up front, super clean, with a dryness on the back end that leaves you wanting more.
Key Ingredients Flaked oats provide a silky texture, while Mandarina Bavaria and Amarillo hops give the beer a huge slash of citrus aroma, without lingering bitterness.
Admin Note: Formerly known as Bengali Tiger

Can shared at Viniloteca. Clear amber pour with a thin off-white head. Notes of citrus hops, boiled cabbage, resin, perfume, alcohol. Funky, a bit too bitter.

On tap. Pours a clear bright amber with moderate head. Aromas of sweeten grapefruit, sharp tropical fruit and pine. Flavors of candied somewhat tart fruit with oranges predominant, dry toasted malts, bitter pine and light spicy resin. Very nice.

Can at Tully Shilling, Farnborough. Hoppy. Bright amber. Bright white head quickly shrinks away. Bitter. Not really more than medium but hoppy. Some caramel into the finish. However served extremely cold straight out of the fridge, which could be having an effect. Light bodied. Really slick around the back of the teeth. Light carbonation. Relatively abrupt finish. Decent enough but would try again and warmer.

Can at Wetherspoons, Birmingham Airport. Poured a crystal clear copper colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is malt, big tropical citrus fruit. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet with a crisp, fresh fruity woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Interesting, if a bit rough around the edges.I like the idea of making an English-style IPA with an American hop-forward brewing process, even though the results aren’t quite what I look for in an IPA. Still good though, with noticeable pungent Brit-hop funkiness billowing up from an insanely beautiful pour. Taste mixes a floral bitterness with deep lines of citric-laced caramel-and-bread malts. Grows grainy and toasted in the middle, then finishes with a tart grapefruit note and a lingering medicinal fade. Definitely gets better as it warms, bringing out a bready British middle and an underlying hoppy brightness. Fade’s a little strange, hiding an odd chemical aftertaste that takes its time to come through. Not a dealbreaker--this beer’s tasty.
