The (512) India Pale Ale is a big, aggressively dry hopped American IPA with smooth bitterness (~65 IBU) balanced by medium maltiness. 100% US malted grains, loads of hops, and great Austin water create an ale with apricot and vanilla aromatics that lure you in for more.

Draught, small creamy head, quite clear rusty orange color, toasty grainy aroma with yherbs and yeast, biscuity malty flavor with a strong herbal bitterness and a hint of citrus. Pleasant drinkable IPA, just a little bit heavy.

On tap at Fado, Austin. Clear dark copper with a small white head that lingers and leaves lots of lace. Strong pine nose with caramel and honey. Light sweet toffee supporting a medium pine bitterness with some citrus. Medium mouth with average carbonation.

Tap at the Hey Merchant, Houston, 21/05/13. Lightly hazed golden amber with a thin off white head. Good lacing ensues. Nose is pale malt, hops, light vegetal notes, bitter orange. Taste comprises orange pith, caramel, sugars, hops, light pine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, hop bitterness in the finish. Average IPA - entry level affair.

Sample at Flying Saucer in Austin. Pours a clear orange-amber color with a medium thin and fluffy white head that recedes slowly. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium body with a piney hops character along with flavors of citrus and bready malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a grapefruit hops aftertaste. Above average all around.

Clear amber with a medium sized off-white head and some lacing. Floral and caramel in aroma and flavor. OK, mild.

Location: Draft at Flying Saucer Austin, 2/18/12
Aroma: The nose is citrus and floral hops, some caramel, and a little pine
Appearance: A cloudy orange color with a thick, creamy, lasting white head and fairly heavy
Flavor: The taste is fairly sweet, pretty well balanced, with a decent hop bitterness
Palate: The body is medium, it is fairly creamy, with a smooth body and a dry finish
Overall Impression: This made for a nice IPA. I enjoyed this one quite a bit. It was probably my favorite of the local IPAs I tried on this trip to Austin.

On cask at petrol station. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a bit of citrus but is mainly full of dank pine and earthy notes. Flavor begins with a nice citrus note that is overtaken by resinous pine with a bit of a dank note.
