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.
40 IBU

Growler delivered by Brew Donkey. From notes.
A - Light golden pour. Bright with good carbonation. Two fingers of fluffy white head on top left decent retention at one finger and spotty lace.
S - Citrus, grass, interesting fruits, candy, syrup.
T - Fruits and syrup again. Some citrus, maybe orange. Herbal.
M - Good carbonation, medium body, not overly bitter.
O/D - This seemed way more like an APA. Not a 'stravaganza' by any means. It seems like they've sold themselves short here. Not awesome, but not bad. Didn't exactly hold my attention.
