Head High is our interpretation of an American-style India Pale Ale (IPA). This beer is all about the hops; we use a blend of five different varieties all grown in the Pacific Northwest. A small charge of Chinook and Columbus early in the boil adds a smooth bitterness. A majority of the hops are then added late in the kettle or post-fermentation to produce a beer that is heavy on hop flavor and aroma. The combination of Cascade, Centennial, Citra and Columbus give Head High a noticeable grapefruit flavor with aromas of citrus, tropical fruits and pine. Our house American ale yeast ferments to a dry finish that accentuates the use of imported Pilsner and lightly kilned crystal malt resulting in Head High’s straw color and crisp flavor.

A hazed golden ipa with a thick frothy lacing light mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, loads of citrus pulp, very nice and smooth. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity citrusy biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, alcohol warmth, very nice. On tap at Bar Left, Terminal C, Newark Airport.

Growler from Grove Wine and Spirits in Yardville, NJ. Pours a hazy medium gold color topped by a large dense creamy white head. Nice lacing as well. Fragrant citrus hops hint at lemon and grapefruit. First sip yields earthy malt and complex bitter hops. Notes of bitter citrus, pine and dank come to mind. For all it’s bitterness, this is a very smooth drinking IPA. It finishes dry and bitter, with a long tasty aftertaste. Outstanding!

This brew is a murky orange color with a medium off-white head that dissipates gradually. Partial rings of lacing. Aroma of citrus, piney hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, resiny hops and caramel malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a tropical fruit and hops aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

16 ounce can thanks to Steve. Pours a bright copper color with a large white head. A nice citrus burst in the nose. Big resin, candied hops, pine, huge citrus hops. A soft malt backbone. Quite nice. Aggressive bitterness at times which I enjoy. This tastes more like a 10% IPA. Lovely.
