Brewed just like the original from Burton upon Trent. This style calls for a high hop rate combined with an elevated alcohol content because it was brewed to survive the journey from England to Bombay as rations for British troops. Huge amounts of two row pale malt with an addition of a few specialty malts provides a nice mouth feel buried under copious additions of Columbus hops. This beer is big but finishes clean.

12 oz can poured into pint glass
L - Cloudy, hazy golden color with some metallic haze and a fluffy (fittingly) white head that sticks to the glass and leaves a good half-inch lacing throughout and good carbonation.
S - Citrus, orange rind, grapefruit, lemon, grass, pine, slightly metallic hops
T - Tastes how it smells. Sweet honey citrus up front, bitter orange rind with a slight hop finish. Nicely balanced, though more of a "fruitier" IPA without an overpowering bitterness.
F - Medium bodied, slightly creamy, moderately carbonated, effervescent bite up front. The sweetness keeps it drinkable and it has a nice, dry finish.
O - A nice example of a fruit-forward American-style IPA. Not too sweet, not too overpoweringly bitter like some other IPAs. Maybe more of a pale ale, but a good offering from a local brewery I'm slightly partial towards.
