Impale IPA delivers hoppy insurrection, through biting bitterness and big tropical fruit aromas derived from the combination of Cascade, Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin & Citra hops used.
Ed Young's recipe was originally winner of an IBD homebrew competition. Not only did he win the chance to brew it with us, he came to work for us for a number of years. Ed has now moved on but he beefed up the original recipe with an increased dry hop before he left.

Bottle. Aroma hoppy, fruity, earthy. Light caramel. Clear golden to orange colour. Rather short lasting head. Taste is quite surprising with its up front hoppiness. Almost no balancing malt, which also results in a thin body. Fruity, zesty, earthy, moderate bitterness with a definite touch of sourness in the very beginning. Might just be a good beer in some way, but does not fit me at all.

Bottled@Public Corner, Vaasa. Much to my surprise, Public Corner in Vaasa has stepped up their selection again. Amber colour, mediumsized slightly off-white head. Aroma is floral, mild fruits with some resin and mild pleasant malty sweetness to it as well. Flavour is rather imilar, and it turns out this was a rather nicely balanced mellow IPA, more of the UK style, than the US.

Opening the bottle and huge DMS, aroma of corn from the can, mixed with what was supoposed to be hoppy note but is a sour note that tastes like white wine. Nice top and clear look but still DMS kills everything, very low bitternes. Just an extremely bad beer, I definietely not recommend it!!!!!

Ins Glas ergießt sich ein goldenes Bier mit schöner Schaumkrone. Geruch nach Citrus, Blumen. Geschmack sehr malzig, fruchtig herb, leicht nach Kräutern.

330ml bottle. Yellowy-orange amber colour, foam white head and aroma is citrus, peach. Taste of malt caramel with earthy pine bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dryish bitter finish. OK.
