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!

Big and juicy yet still light and easygoing, Invasion hits all the right notes for a delicious pale. Green, citric hops mesh with toasted biscuit malt, leading to a round, herbal middle and a lingering semisweet piney finish. Really, with pale ales like this out there, why are session IPAs a thing?

On tap at the Bottle Shop, Bermondsey. Amber pour with a fluffy white head. Sweet citrus, apricot and pineapple aroma. Fresh citrus action in the taste with a splash of apricot jam and peach. Tasty.

Fra boks på romjulstreff i RBHD des-16: lett uklar gylden med flott skum som varer. Citrus, tropiske frukter, granskudd og sukat. Den va’ go’e sier skibsrederen. Saftig og frisk smak og ettersmak. Meget lett å helle innenfor snippen.

Pours an amber from a can, a nice citrus (grapefruit/lemon) aroma and flavor over a biscuity background. Good beer.
