Fire all guns! A broadside is the maximum firepower a vessel can deliver to a single target all at once. Devastating to your enemies if well timed. Similarly Broadside India Pale Ale brings to bear the full power of malt and hops within the crimson glory of this full bodied ale.
Hops: Herkules, Simcoe, Centennial, Perle.

Taster at the brewery. Pours a hazy pale copper with a tan head. Aroma is caramel and fruity notes, a bit dirty. Taste is low to moderate sour with hoppy bitterness. Strange, but not offensive.

650ml bottle shared at Brian’s. Pours a murky golden with a white head. Aroma is berries and malty. Same taste with lots of bready, caramely, and some candied oranges notes. Not bad.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours an opaque cloudy dark reddish amber with a small beige head. Aroma is quite yeasty, with subdued earthy hops and toasted malt. Flavour is rather jumbled, with dark pithy fruits, earthy hops and caramel malt. Confused and an abrasive mess overall. Difficult to drink.

Bottle, Legacy. Medium brown and murky. Spicy hop aroma but a touch yeasty/muddy. Big head. Bitter but then some spicy hop. Switches to a bit of biscuity sweetness but definitely still murky.

Dark amber color, compact head. Light aroma, stronger flavor, with a caramel base, moderately sweet, then loads of orangey hops, a bit woody in the final (tannins?), and possibly a trace of butter that doesn’t disturb. The alcohol is a bit too evident.
Not a bad beer, quite solid. but This is almost a strong hoppy Amber, a very old style IPA, we thought we had left those behind us.

Clean amber color. The lightest caramel aroma. Lean mouthfeel, nice caramel flavor, a bit bready, light residual sweetness, and light fruit jam from the hops that complements the malts. A bit of toast in the final.
Amber IPA’s are not the best, but this is well constructed.
