Spiral Jetty India Pale Ale is the launching point in our series of hoppy IPA brews. Spiral Jetty IPA has an aggressive hop profile (five different hops used here with two in the dry hop) presenting citrus, floral, resinous or pine aromas and flavors typical of American hops and a nice pleasant, cleansing bitterness on the finish. The dominance of the hops helps to balance the complex malt flavors and the higher alcohol content. Spiral Jetty is our strongest Classic Series ale at 6.6% alcohol by volume, but certainly not our strongest beer.

Bottle at the first Kinki Beer Tasting. It pours a light cloudy honey gold with a muscat, herbal/floral hop aroma. The flavor is mostly bitter pine. It’s a solid IPA with a dry finish though not so complex.

Bitter and astringent IPA, with some nice citrus lingering flavor. Light, hazy amber with creamy head. Light aroma of grapefruit, citrus, hops. Taste is mostly hops with faint malt backbone. Pretty good beer.

Bottle from Erzbierschof, Bern
Hazy light amber color, with medium head. Mild malt aroma, some grass. Lean mouthfeel; there is an ordinary flavor of caramel with light toffee, very light cereals, lightly biscuity; quite strong bitterness, with resins, but no hop fruitiness.
It has no BBE date, but it must be old.
