We took the traditional IPA, originally shipped from England to India in the 1700′s, and made it bolder and more flavorful—American Style. We added new varieties of highly aromatic American hops to create a distinctive bitterness profile and an incredible hop character.

355ml bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with some head - although not substantial, some lace remains throughout. The nose is hard to define as it’s a combination of the green hops and sweet malt - it’s a bit like sultanas and there’s a pistachio thing going on too. The taste has more sultanas and maybe oranges and a big cake mixture note on the end. The palate medium to big in structure, with a nice creamy texture and a lovely refreshing finish. Overall, a really intriguing and well balanced beer.

Black Hills Beer Fest - Pale golden pour with a small sandy head. Nice, strong scent of citrus and piney hops. Tastes of citrus, caramel, and piney resin. Light florals, but plenty of bitters. Very good.

Draft at Euston Tap. Pours a lightly cloudy gold with a thick, tight and white head. Strong hop aroma with pine, light florals, definite grapefruit and subtle malts. Flavor holds mild sweetness with notes of caramel, orange juice and sweet bread, then plenty of piney, citrusy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine though effervescent carbonation. Finishes sticky, with light caramel, pine, grapefruit and tons of resin. Great IPA.

Bottle from GBBF 2010. Clear amber thick white head. Yes, a pretty good hoppy aroma, some herbyness in the flavour in the mouth. Not overly bitter on the finish. Very resiny and slightly oily on the hops. Some orange fruit flavours develop. OK IPA, decent enough, without being overly exciting.
