Smuttynose IPA is a physical salute to the glory of the American hop grower. The citrusy hop flavor coming from a mixture of Simcoe and Santiams is pleasantly balanced by a smooth bitterness from the Amarillo hops. The beer itself is light bodied and crisp with a golden color that will throw a slight haze, as we bottle it unfiltered. At 65 IBU’s, this is definitely not a training-wheels IPA, but is meant for hop lovers looking to satisfy their craving in a way that’s not easy to find. We think they’ll be quite pleased.

Bottle from Beer Ritz. Golden pour with an off-white head. Looks good. Fresh hop aromas with a splash of citrus, peaches and mangoes. Sharp citrus flavours. Fruity, hop infused finish. Good stuff.

Medium white head. Hazy amber body with small particles. Strawy fruity resiny honeyish aroma with citric earthy notes. Dry-sweet wooden tropical fruit and resin taste with citric strawy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild mouthfeel. Dry resiny grassy tropical fruit aftertaste with strawy earthy notes. Excellent, balanced IPA. (0.33l bottle, Håndverkerstuene, Oslo.)

355 ml bottle @den gode nabo. Hazy orange body with a nice off-white head. Aroma with lots of citric fruit and just a hint of caramel. Flavor has a sharp bitterness with much citric fruit and caramel malt. Moderate sweetness. Medium body. A nice IPA, actually close to a DIPA in bitterness. Not really complex, has a sharp and distinct bitterness, quite fruity and relatively clean flavor. Rough and tough.

0.33l bottle @ Henriks, Bergen. Pours a medium bronze body with a thin to almost no-existing lacing head. Grape soda nose, fresh, yet some what anonymous nose for a IPA. Lively carbonation and a medium-body. Dry, bitter and quite hoppy finish. Really nice bottle label!

bottle - Pours hazy orange with a one finger white head. It smells of hops with light notes of citrus and a suggestion of caramel malt. The flavor is of course quite bitter. There’s a little citrus there but it’s more subdued than an IPA made with Cascade. There’s also a hint of pine. It’s medium bodied and has a lingering bitter finish that’s perhaps not as crisp as I’d like. Overall it’s quite good but not great.
