Brewed with extra hops and malt in the English tradition, but with West Coast style. This deep golden India Pale Ale is artfully balanced with a fresh, powerful aroma and a luscious finish.

Bottle thanks to joeneugs. Pours a clear amber with a thin near white head. Aroma has a surprisingly malty aroma with a strong biscuit and cereal aroma with a slight hint of earth and grassy hops. Flavor has a nice grassy hop flavor with the grains being more of an undertone on the tongue.

Bottle. A hazy, orange-golden beer with a beige, creamy head of moderate size. The aroma has chalky, dusty hops on a malty background. Fluorine and resin and a little citrus. Some alcohol as well. There’s a lovely bitterness in the mouth, along with the hoppy and malty flavors found in the aroma. Lasting bitter finish with pinecones and resin. Full-bodied and slightly warming. Could maybe have been a bit sweeter, but it’s a really nice IPA. Lovely actually. (090327)

Pours with a yellow tinged, large creamy head that leaves plenty of good lacing. Body is a hazy orange. Room filling aroma of nice floral hops, citrus hops (tangarine and graipefruit) aswell as lots of toffee. Big flavor for a single IPA. Taste is very malty without being sweet. Finishing a floral hop bitter. A bit on the dry side as far as mouthfeel goes, with sharp little bubbles.
