Broken Halo IPA is a beer produced in the spirit of traditional IPA products shipped from the UK to India in the late 1800s. The almost excessive amounts of Cascade and Columbus hops used in Broken Halo give it notable citrus and grapefruit aromas and flavors. The beer bitterness measures high but tastes smooth due to the full-bodied, Caramel malt sweetness. The finish is juicy, clean, and short lived. A devilishly bold, heavenly smooth India Pale Ale.

malts: PALE, CARAMEL 10L & 20L,carapils
hops: ALCHEMY, CASCADE, zeus

12oz bottle:
Appearance: Pours a light golden color with a small white head, leaving a medium amount of lace in the glass.
Aroma: Citrus and grapefruit hops
Taste: Same as the aroma, citrus and grapefruit hops with some sweetness coming through.
This is not an over the top IPA. It has a crisp flavor and is very smooth. It would be easy to drink several pints with no problems.

355 ml bottle. Golden bronze body with an off-white head. Aroma is fruity, citrus/grapefruit. Flavor is also fruity, citrus with sweet malt and a sharp, balanced bitterness. A nice, plain, straightforward IPA for everyday use.

Draft at the brewery tap. A golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and lovely grassy adn grapefruity. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of grass as well as grapefruit, leading to a dry bitter finish.

Bottle. Poured hazy orange with thin white head. Lekker floral aroma with citrus notes. Hop and grapefruit flavour. Light body,. Small hoppy finish, not what I’d expect from an IPA. This bier began better than it ended, but is still quite drinkable

Thanks to Pigboy for brining me this one from a trip out of state. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy bright golden-amber color with a small white head. The aroma was very nice with sweet with strong grapefruit and pine elements. The flavor was sweet, fruity and lightly peppery with notes of grapefruit, pine and floral hops. Quite nice.
