Our take on a "west coast style" IPA, Jagged Edge is big and hoppy, yet it’s also extremely well balanced, and surprisingly easy to reach for another.
We "first wort hop" with Columbus, and use Simcoe for flavor additions. The finishing hop additions include Columbus, Centennial, and Simcoe. Columbus is pungent with sweet orange aromas and flavor. Centennial adds floral notes along with additional citrus. Simcoe add a nice pine like flavor and aroma. These hops were chosen for their flavors and their moderate cohumulone content, which means they are bitter but not overwhelmingly bitter in large quantities. Pale malts are complemented by caramalt and light munich malts, which both enhance the malty sweetness and color and work to balance the substantial hop bill.

Bottle at home. Aroma is malt, biscuit, fruity hops, some caramel, big pine resin, orange, tangerine, some floral notes. Flavour is light sweet and medium bitter. Almost has a slight tartness from the fruits. Body is medium, nicely rich. Rather malty caramel piny, not as crisp fruity as I’d like, but a very enjoyable IPA anyway.

(Keg at Pikkulintu, 20171119) The beer poured deep amber and nearly clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had malts, caramel and sweetness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, grass, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A decent hoppy pale ale with sweet notes.

(bottle, 35.5cl) Hazy, deep golden colour with a medium-sized and slightly tanned foamy head. Mildly fruity, resiny and herbal-spicy hoppy aroma with a slightly cara-malty background. Mildly bitter and slightly sweet flavour, medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slightly cara-malty base with piney and mainly citric hops, getting slightly grassy towards the bitter-sweet finish. 17.VII.17

BillyNoMates solo hotel tasting. Almost clear gold beer, good cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has modest fine carbonation. Light malts, mildly sweet. Little pine, ripe orange and a whisper of hop spice. Light finish. Tastes a little aged. Okay.

12 fl.oz bottle. Pours almost clear orange golden colour with a mid-sized good lasting off-white head. Aroma of mild fruity fresh hops, grass. Taste of medium bitter hops, tropical fruits, leading to a bitter finish, alright!

355ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, amber colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Close resemblance to the "White Witch" but with more pronounced citrusy fruitiness (grapefruit, lemon) in aroma and taste.
