Our Big Eye IPA is a big hoppy brew, thanks to the abundance of American Columbus and Centennial varieties we use to flavor and dry hop. While the English originally added extra hops to preserve their beers for sea travel, we do it for the love of all that bold, intense flavor that makes India Pale Ale one of our favorite styles.

355ml can. Pours a hazy orange with a medium, frothy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, peach, orange, grapefruit and light pine needles. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, peach, grapefruit, orange peel and pine needles with a dry, bitter grass finish. Medium to full body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Nice.

From can in front of De Bierkoning (had this on tap once, in California in 2009, pre-RB). Clear deep golden color. Off white head. Aroma’s of caramel, dark malts, bitter hops. Bitterness is more upfront retronasal. Flavor is bitter, with dark malts in the background. Medium bodied. Long firm bitter finish. Now I need to re-retry with a fresh one.

Vom Fass direkt im San Diego Tabroom - frischer geht’s kaum. Optisch astreines Amber. In der Nase schöne Grapefruit. Setzt sich leicht süß im Trunk fort. Mittig malzig, hinten bitter. Ein IPA beim dem für jeden was dabei ist.

Amber colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a fair amount of syrupy malts and resinous hop. Quite bitter.
