Served on cask and dispensed into an English half pint pot at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green - Jan '12
First off the name - not what "I'd" necessarily call an 'American IPA', hence I have listed as an English IPA!
Pours to a clear golden hue with a small white head, looks just the ticket when held up to the light!
Lots of hops in the aroma for an English IPA (but again - let's not mistake this for an American hop bomb in ANY WAY!), sweet malt on the nose and also citrus notes
Toasted malts, orange/grapefruit flavour amongst the hopping and a little caramel, a fairly sweet finish with little in the way of bitterness
A medium bodied beer with just the right level of carbonation
In summary a good beer with a little hop kick - but not of the variety you'd get over the pond, so don't be disappointed in the respect!
And to sign off the review, some notes from the brewer . . . . . "Based on a secret Michigan recipe, this original American IPA contains the highest quality malts, combining pale, Munich, Caramalt and pale Crystal malts producing a world class ale which is golden orange in colour, showing complex hoppy aromas with floral and citrus tones with a long lingering finish".
