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.

Pours a slightly cloudy deep orange/golden color with a two finger off white head that leaves great lace on the way down. Smells of grapefruit, caramel, pine, yum. Tastes of caramel, pine and resin. Lingering pine bitterness in the finish. Medium body, crisp carbonation, oily mouthfeel. Great refreshing brew for sure. Another great brew from Smuttynose.

12 oz. bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a medium white head. Nose brings out loads of citrus hops, some resin, some pine, and a little biscuity malt in back. Flavour is very citrusy and grassy in the hop department, with a fairly strong astringency on the finish. Turns more grassy and herbal towards the end of the palate. Clean and refreshing. Nice IPA.

Bottle labelled as Finestkind IPA. Pours a hazy medium gold with a small white head that leaves a bit of lace. Big skunky nose with grapefruit and citrus and a good dose of pine with a light caramel background. Flavour starts with a very light sweet honey and toffee before the big pine, citrus and mango bitterness takes over. Medium slick mouth with average carbonation and a long bitter finish. Nice hop combination.
