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 Drink? Hebden Bridge. Hazy amber in colour with a frothy head. Has a strength, but its dry fruitiness is flavoursome and slightly herbal. Seems a little understated in its ingredients but is easy enough to drink for its volume. Drank as ’Finestkind IPA’

Thank you tderoeck! 355 ml. bottle sampled as “Finestkind IPA” @ “Tim’s Christmas Tasting”. BBF 02/2016. Hazy golden, little white head. Nose is oily grapefruit peel, peach, resin, oily sweetish, mineral qualities dominating a bit. Taste is heavy oil, mineral, oily caramel, mellowed grapefruit, older grapefruit,;.. Touch watery hop oil body. Feels a bit old, faded but still pretty decent.
