A very hoppy India Pale Ale. Beautifully balanced with a big malt body. Brewed traditionally as in the days of the British Empire. Complements ethnic foods such as Thai cuisine. Silver medal winner at the 1998 Chicago Real Ale Festival.

[1] Review by eaglefan538 from DE, USA who has tried this beer once. (11/21/2006 11:18:15 PM)
"Poured a cloudy amber color, ok initial head, weak lacing for the style. The aroma was sloppy caramel, some weird candy-like nasty off aroma, butyric aromas. The flavor was diacetyl (never a good thing), caramel, slight citrus, just brutally nasty rancid and acidic, very astringent. Mouthfeel was acidic, a foul funk IPA."

[2] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/6/2006 6:48:59 PM)
"Nice, clear copper body is topped off by an ample, but not too big, head. Very floral hops in the nose, a bit of citrus, but really more like a rose garden. There’s also a bit of butter mixed in with that. The malt profile has a nice bit of caramel. Actually with the malt profile and the butter, this really comes across as a very British IPA, except for the fact it’s a good bit hoppier than the typical modern Brit IPA."
