First brewed in England for troops in India during the late 1700s. To withstand the voyage, IPAs were tweaked Pale Ales that were much more malty, boasted a higher alcohol content and were well hopped. It is believed that troops were served watered-down versions of the beer while officers and the elite enjoyed it at full strength. Over the decades, alcohol content lowered due to taxation so less need for malt and hop presence to keep beer balanced. Hopstravanganza is a traditional style English IPA, brilliant pale color with flavor and aroma citrus notes up front. Bitterness starts softly yet sharpens quickly towards the end...and it lingers.

Yet another beer tasting venture with Chopz at Quinn's Ale House! Got a fair amount of creamy head from this one, with a medium golden colour. Good lacing. Hops are strong, not too bitter but just enough. Aftertaste is pretty good with some citrus overtones. Very refreshing!

Enjoyed at Quinn's Ale house with PaleAleRider. Pours a clean golden colour with a little amber hue. The head is white and some soapy lacing is left. Mild fresh hop scent with caramel and grain notes. The mouthfeel is lightly dry in the finish. Again, mild bitterness from the hop in the taste, with caramel malt in the background. Decent, not over-hoppy, brew.
