Recreated from an IPA recipe Mike Hoops found from the year 1800. The recipe was altered slightly with the british style hops additions (5 lbs per barrel) spaced out more during the boil to allow the beer to be drinkable now instead of months after a sea voyage.

Big and malty, thick, sweet, with a moderate hop fade. Looks as heavy as it drinks, with a lovely hazed orange hue. The nose comes off weak, malt-heavy with little sign of the Brit hops. Tastes along the same lines, with a massive caramel malt blitz followed by a tidy, neat bitter finish. This IPA is not for hop freaks, no, but it’s historical leanings make it worth trying, and those who find pleasure in the occasional English Strong Ale will dig this brew.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a slightly hazy gold with a white head that laced a bit. Aroma was full of pine and grassy hops with a malt undertone. Flavor had nice pine flavor with a grassy and malty finish.

Sample from tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy deep orange leaving rim from the white head. Aroma is mild malty, not strongly hoppy but presence. flavour is slight citric, strong malt profile with good hoppy bitterness taking over into the finish.

Not their best IPA; a style they are really into at this brewery. Cloudy yellow. Hops aroma. Flavor is also of hops; some sweetness. Strong and thin.
