The people of Tampa Bay have fallen prey to a pirate invasion annually for well over 100 years. After more than a century of failing to repel these seafaring raiders in their anachronistic wooden ships and despite access to modern sea, land and air arsenals that ostensibly should make short work of wind powered vessels equipped with naught but cast iron cannons and raging scurvy, it occurred to the folks of Cigar City Brewing that if you can’t beat them, start saying “Arrrr Matey!” We have brewed Invasion Pale Ale, a citrusy, tropical and low-alcohol session beer brewed for those long days of marauding, pillaging and pirating. Cheers!

Drunk down by the dock on Lake Martin in the darkness so no good optics for judging, but looked light amberish. Tall, foamy head. Pine and pineapple aroma. Bitter most of the way through. Drinkable but a resin bitterness and lack of fruitiness keep it from being very refreshing

0,33l can from Total Wine & More, Miami Beach. Clear orange beer with medium head. Aroma has caramel, pine and hints of fruits. Taste has caramel, pineappl and mango, but not very fresh way. Medium body, long aftertaste with hints of fruits and hints of bitter. Weird, but somehow quite good.

Tight bubbly white head left a creamy cover on an unclear golden orange coloured still body. Pine, pith, tangerine, marmalade & hops aroma. Medium bodied, light & clean over tongue with a sharp dry back. Pith, zest, orange, bitter citrus, pine, mango & pineapple tastes.

[12oz can from Total Wines, Naples, FL.] A straw coloured pour with a billowing cream head; pineapple aroma; soft tropical fruit taste with a slightly grainy body; and a mellow finish. This isn't an APA that shocks the tastebuds, but it is easy drinking.

Can shared in London - cheers to Fergus. Pours clear gold with a frothy white head. Nice pithy citrus, melon and tangerine, light rindy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Pithy finish. Solid. Very drinkable.
