Bronze Medal Winner, 2005 Great American Beer Festival. “Recipe converted from historic recipe dated from the year 1800. Bittering calculations were off the charts, so we used the same number of pounds of hops, but moved much of the addition to the later part of the boil. Original recipe called for 1 bittering addition. Very earthy, nutty malt character with a tremendous hops flavor!” -Town Hall Head Brewer Mike Hoops
Recommended: 2-stage fermentation and yeast starter.

- Excellent Review by Sam

This was an excellent beer. I added 2oz of Cascade to dry hop (just so I could end up at a total of one pound of hops for a 5 gallon batch!) The color is beautifully clear and light but the taste is wonderfully bitter matched nicely with the malt. I will make this again! (Posted on 11/24/12)Rating - Amazing! Review by Dave

I found that after a good while bottle conditioning, this is one of the finest beers I have made. I used West Yorkshire Yeast (on hand and love the stuff) and I have to admit I got a bit freaked by the massive amount of hops and put less in. A recipe calculator had the IBU's off the charts, so I paired it back to end up above 60 IBU's and it was great. I've made another batch and doubled the hops (still less than the recipe calls for) and look forward to drinking that once it ages a bit in the bottle.

I can't say it better...when you think of an IPA from around 1800, this ought to be what comes to mind. It's high in abv, high in hops, but a curious balance of the two that end up as a very seductive brew (you WILL want more...and more...). Worth the wait. I paired this with a Welch Pork & Cheddar Pie with a red onion jam -- stellar. I'll be brewing this again! (Posted on 3/20/12)Rating
