INDIA PALE ALE
Pale orange, with grapefruit, pine, and tropical fruit aromas
India Pale Ales were originally brewed to withstand long ocean voyages by increasing the quantity of hops and malt used in their Pale Ale predecessors. Our take on IPA pours pale orange with a balanced malt presence and finishes with a combination of grapefruit, pine, and tropical fruit notes from Pacific Northwest grown hops.

Bottle. Pour is an ugly dingy gold brown and supports a pretty large frothy head. Aromas are earthy and resiny hops with a little bit of peach and graininess. Flavor is fairly fruity... Which is interesting. I might have guessed this had peaches added to the brewing process, which has me a bit confused for the style, but I like it. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical on this when it poured out of the bottle, but it is a solid and interesting IPA.

12oz bottle. Unfiltered orange-brown-tan body, with a steady, creamy off-white head. Medium to full bodied, a pretty well done IPA. Relatively hop forward, with a nice balance from the creamy yeast tones. Straightforward, but a quality example.

Received as part of my Santa package. Pours hazy amber with a small off-white head and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is not strong, but pleasant with notes of grapefruit, pine, tropical fruits. Flavor is about the same, vaquely passionfruity. Little sweetness, light bitterness. Mouthfeel is somewhat watery, but otherwise a nice offering.

Shaker pint draft at the brewpub in Columbus, Ohio. The pour is a haze orange amber, with a half inch off white head. The aroma is fresh citrus, softly sweet floral, and a light pine hoppiness. The taste is the citrus, the pine, and a nice toasted malt. All flavors nicely blended and vibrant. There is a touch of sweetness and resin near the back. The palate is medium bodied, nice active carbonation, and a dry mineral finish. Nice IPA, this was the first beer of a session and it hit the spot.

From the bottom of the keg on tap at vintage estate. Big IPA aroma. Looks like pale lager and not hazy as described. Creamy big head. Yes, big citrus ipa flavor. Flat, no co2. Flavor is fresh ipa impact. If you are into IPA, ignore my numbers, this stuff is terribly on style.
