Oak-aged IPA produced in our Foudres
Complex aromas of oak, honeyed malt sweetness, and piney citrus hops, leads to a full hoppy middle and a finish that’s crisp, oaky and pleasantly lingering. Why, oh why did we resist the subtle allure of IPA so long?

12oz bottle at the DC Local tasting. Pours a totally translucent, yellow copper with a spitty white head. Light, citrus, pine aroma. Flavor is decent for an IPA, caramel sweetness, lemons, light grapes, light lime rind. Finish is medium bodied with some bitterness.

Pour is a clear orange with a thin white head. Aroma is a nice pine hop with not much in the way of malts. Flavor is hoppy but not as much as i was hoping for. I got none of the oak aging that the bottle told me i should but this is still decent as a stand alone IPA.

On tap at Sheffield’s in Chicago. Aroma is faint of caramel and malt, pours copper and rather thin, not much head. Rather crisp, I’m tasting the oak barrel along with caramel and those citrus hops, but theyre not as prevalent. I like this ale and there’s a lot going on, seems like its going after Arrogant Bastard and its nice but not as good.

12 oz. bottle, $10/6 pack @ Binny’s. Light copper color, with some streaks, I imagine. A steady stream of bubbles and a rocky, lacy head. Nice smell of fresh-cut hops, largely piney, and indicating the time to drink this beer is now. I’ve bought this the week it was introduced, and its taste is bustin’ with fresh American hops. Heavy on the pine and extra bitterness, so some might find it a bit limited. Strong malt backing. Oak is a little hard to place with all this bitterness going on, but there is a strain of mellowness that suggests it has laid down for a while. Maybe dry hopped in secondary then?
