True to its British roots, Raj – our English IPA – is aggressive where necessary but undeniably refined. Its deliciously floral bitterness is rounded out with a healthy dose of caramel malt that gives it a rich copper color.

Tap pours copper with a nice lasting white head, lots of lacing. Aroma is big caramel and breaded malts, thin citrus hop notes. Flavor is more malt forward, but the hops add a nice dry finish of pine and grapefruit.

Poured up on tap at the Tempe Four Peaks with clear copper body and white head. The mild, nay, faint aroma seems earthy and maybe spicy too. The taste is smooth with sweet malts and a touch of roasted malts rolling into spicy hops and a mild yeast. Toward midway it picks up an additional note of earthy hops. I love English style IPA that don’t embrace floral hoppiness. This one is right up my alley. I love the play between the spicy hops, earthy hops and malts.

Draught at the brewpub
Light amber color; creamy head. Simple aroma, light but nice hops. Creamy and smooth body, some malt and toffee flavor, but quite buttery, diacetyl. Correct bitterness, lightly citrusy. Not bad, but I prefer the American IPA to this English IPA
