IPAs were originally brewed in London and shipped to Her Majesty's British troops in India. Very hoppy!

6/30/25 - (Draft - Big Dog’s Brewing Company) (Las Vegas, Nevada) Brewery Notes: 16 oz $9.76 with tax draft pour. 7.1% ABV, IPA.
Appearance: Clear golden tan base, medium plus sustained carbonation, creamy bright white head leaves razor thin lacing and cover over base. 3.75
Aroma: Nice pine aroma, citrus and tangerine back. Medium plus strength and enjoyment. 3.5
Taste: Consistent with aroma, but with more bite. Pine, items and caramel malt competes, with a bitter dry pine winning out. Tangerine not noted. 3.75
Mouthfeel: Light gentle carbonation, light to medium body, drinks lighter than the 7.1% ABV. Mildly dry, bitterness more pronounced and enjoyable. Hops leads, light caramel malt suits my preference. Bitter pine leads and finishes. Nice. 4.25
Overall: This is a solid IPA, hits the expected notes well, nice old school pine bitter pour. This brewery does well with IPAs. Keep’em coming. 4.0

Draft at the Yard House. Dark golden with small bubbly head. Aroma is hops, leaning towards pine and orange peel. Taste brings additional citrus, tangerine, with latent bitterness. Nice blend of citrus and pine in the hop selection.

Copper colored with a quarter inch of off white on top. Heavy lacing. I smell pine and light malt. I’m tasting lots of piney hops and light, crackers malt. The mouth is sticky and dry.

Not great, not bad. You'll definitely get a big hop taste
Overall, decent but I wouldn't look for this IPA in particular
