By definition, an India pale ale is hoppier and higher in alcohol than its little brother, pale ale—and we deliver in spades. One of the most well-respected and best-selling IPAs in the country, this golden beauty explodes with tropical, citrusy, piney hop flavors and aromas, all perfectly balanced by a subtle malt character. This crisp, extra hoppy brew is hugely refreshing on a hot day, but will always deliver no matter when you choose to drink it.

A classical and powerful ipa that I generally appreciate with Fred and this time, it was at Arbaz. This one is mineral and dry, side of tobacco, bitter and citrus, hoppy, dry malt, long bitterness staying at the mouth.

Bottled. A pretty darned good IPA. Pours gold w/creamy head, bitter as hell, w/some citrus. A good IPA but not too extreme.

Bottle. After drinking this beer I came to the conclusion, I love hops. This is quite a statement for one who loves malty, dark beers. This has to be a favorite of anyone who loves hops. It has a floral aroma. Taste wonderful with a great flowery taste with a bitter "bite" of an after taste. Good stuff.

Can at home. Somehow it took me 7 years and close to 6 thousand beers to finally try this, crazy. Fine tuned bitterness, still quite ok hop character, great drinkability. If all macro beers were at least this level, then there’d probably be no need for 80% of craft breweries hehe

an exellent IPA, but i have to admit i was a bit dissapointed, yes it had all the atributes of a great IPA, but i found it a bit underwhelming for all the hype, and the style ratings. Not a hop forward as i would have expected, quite subdued i found.

Lattina. Il gusto al naso propende per il luppolo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata, permanendo in maniera ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. La frizzantezza si presenta sotto forma di bollicine medio-fini, con carbonazione vivace e persistente. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è carico. La forza gustativa è molto elevata e la permanenza è buona e persistente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il retrogusto è intenso. Il tetto della bocca riconosce impressioni di miele, crosta di pane, luppolo, resina, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas, frutta passita e spezie.
