What is Bouncy House? It’s the next step in our quest to brew the perfect low-alcohol, high-flavor, hoppy American ale. We learned a few things from brewing ParadoX earlier this year, like lowering the alcohol content and avoiding the terms "session" and "IPA." When you taste Bouncy House, you’ll taste a modest malt bill of North American 2-row, British pale ale malt, C-60 and Aromatic malt mashed for a refreshingly light body that leaves plenty of spotlight for a melange of Warrior, Calypso, El Dorado and Citra hops.

Nice tasty and easy drinkable session ale.
Hazed golden color with a fine white head. Ok lacing on the glass. Ok intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a fine carbonation. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. More citrus than citric, malty, and passion fruit in the flavor.
[Bottle from Gulating in Lørenskog, Norway]

Hazy orange-copper color with white head. Aroma is tropical fruits, piney, very fruity. Taste is tart-fruity, sweet tropical fruits, light-bodied, dry finish. Quite high carbonation. A very good Session IPA, especially because of the tartness that fits.

Tap (IPA bar, Berlin). Barwa ciemno zlota, piana bialo-szara, ladnie krazkujaca. Aromat delikatny, owocowy. W smaku cytrusowo-owocowe z leciutkim kwaskiem na finiszu. Lekkie w odbiorze, pijalne i orzezwiajace z wyrazna, cytrusowa goryczka.

Crisp, very slightly hazy golden coloured body with a dense, two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of light citrus, a touch of pine and a lot of water - not much going on in the nose. Light-bodied; Very mild flavour of pineapple and resin with almost no malt at all and only a faint note of hops. Aftertaste is bland and very watery - this really isn’t a beer - this is like pineapple water with carbonation. Overall, I’m surprised that this is anywhere close to 3,0% abv - this is very water with only a faint note of any flavour at all - and there is no malt in here, seemingly. If you want a beer with absolutely no flavour but a touch of pineapple and hops, you’ve found the right beer; otherwise, if you like flavour at all - steer clear of this one, it’s way too mild! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 12-July-2015 for US$1,69 sampled at home in Washington on 12-October-2015 just three months later.

11.10.2015, 0,35l bottle @ home:
Nice creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet concentrated grassy, leafs, sugar, lawn, hops, caramel malts, hay, hints of dried fruits. Taste is slightly dry grassy, weeds, leafs, minerals, hay, lawn, hops, bark, paper, soap, pine needles. Medium to longlasting bitterness, kind of watery mouthfeel. Fair enough.
