Dry-hopped with close to 500 lbs of hops for every 240 barrels brewed, Stowaway’s bitter character is enticing for any veteran hop head, but also approachable enough for any beer drinker to tackle. This beer offers a balanced finish virtually unheard of in the style category. Stowaway IPA has a bold hop profile synonymous with a West Coast IPA that is balanced out with a deep malt backbone. Stowaway has become an icon of Maine IPAs and today, we continue Baxter’s tradition of innovation by improving our process to lock those fresh, game-changing flavors into every can and keg we produce.

Can. Body is a coppery red with a very large head coming out of the can and aromas of caramel, grass, faint herbs and just a hint of resin. Flavor is pleasant enough with a bite from citrus and resin (mostly resin) and a kind of slick and almost chewy mouthfeel. It’s a decent IPA, but not a very interesting one... Almost comes off like a DIPA with the malty and chewy palate.

Cask at GBBF 2012. It pours hazy golden amber, with a minimal off-white head. The nose is pine, resin, grass, hopsack and leaf. The taste is pine, leaf, grass, zesty, resin, varnish, light spice and alcohol warmth, with a very dry, bitter finish. Medium body, low carbonation and slightly sticky mouth-feel. Enjoyable bitterness. Good, but I can’t help to think that this would be even better on keg....

Cask at Great British Beer Festival 2012, Olympia, London. An amber coloured pour with a small white head on top. Hoppy, tropical fruit aroma. Typical US DIPA territory, tastes hoppy, malty, sweet, sticky, plenty of grapefruit. Smooth and so easy to drink, delicious!

Canette 355ml, courtoisie d’un bon ami. De couleur ambrée-orange et semi-voilée. Nez de houblon citrique, moyennement résineux et légèrement herbeux, malté de caramel sucré, moyen de fruits (agrumes sucrées) avec des notes de biscuits. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement huileuse avec des notes résineuses. Moyenne amertume de houblon citrique (pamplemousse) aux notes résineuses (une amertume présente toute la gorgée) accompagné d’un goût fruité (agrumes) dès l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel sucré avec un moyen goût de biscuits et des notes de pain puis en finale l’amertume se fait sentir en se montrant plus asséchante et légèrement plus herbeuse. Post-goût long et un peu sec, moyennement amer de houblon citrique aux notes résineuses et herbeuses ainsi qu’avec un léger goût fruité (zeste d’agrumes).
