Deliciously hoppy, with an undercurrent of flavorful and provocative organic malts, Butte Creek Organic Pale Ale is sure to please hop lovers everywhere. We hand craft this IPA with the generous use of Organic New Zealand Pacific Gem and Cascade hops in the brew kettle, after which we dry hop the beer with Organic Cascade and Wakatu hops to achieve that perfectly pleasant, piney aroma and floral, citrusy hop notes that make this IPA incredible. But beer is not only about hops, it is about balance. The powerful hop presence is equitably enhanced with our careful blending of Organic Pale, Caramel-60, and Wheat malts to provide a solid base and full bodied mouth feel. This is the IPA enjoyed by lovers of hops, lovers of beer, and lovers of socially responsible organic products. 6.5% ABV, OG 15.5, IBU 51.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, dark amber with an off-white head. Quite a hoppy nose. Medium body with some malt, but completely dominated by raw and very primitive bittering hops. No refinement, no citrus or caramel - just plain bitterness. 020506

Thanks to Degarth for this one! Dark orange in color, this medium bodied brew throws up a long lasting off-white creamy head. The aroma is malt dominated with some citrus hops coming through. The balance stays to the bitter side from start to finish, which makes this somewhat one dimensional.

Bottle pours a slightly hazy light orange. Very large frothy slightly off-white head. Clumpy sticky coarse lacing from the receding behemoth. Aroma is like an old barn. Some sour woody notes. Hops are evident but not prominant. Flavor is sharp and hoppy but a harsh bittness with little flavor. Fairly full palette but that woody cardboard things keeps coming back. Another dissapointing IPA. Where is my Stone or Diamond Knot when I need them....

Unimpressive hoppy aroma. Some floral and spice hints, and some buttered scones. Medium hop flavors are perfumy, with a fair caramel malt body. There’s a weird husky quality to the palate, drying around the edges of the mouth, almost chalky in mouthfeel. Minerally. Really a pale ale, or at least an 1990’s era British style IPA. Hazy amber color with a decent head and fair lacing.

Pour is a bright orange with a nice sized white head. Aroma is faintly hoppy but its there. Flavor is very dry,hoppy and musty. I do get some citrus in the end along with some bitterness. Good beer for those who like hops but not to the extreme as some other beers.
