Mystic Bridge India Pale Ale
A mild earthy IPA with hints of grapefruit citrus
6.0 % ABV 43 IBU 8.5 SRM
This pale amber colored New England style IPA was inspired by one of the most recognizable landmarks in CT, the 1920 bascule bridge in Mystic, down the river from our brewery. It is a well balanced, mild earthy brew with hints of grapefruit citrus. The Centennial and Cascade hops are flavorful without being bitter and the CaraMalt gives it its sweetness. Great with: strong, spicy food; bold, sweet deserts.

Pours dark amber with little to no head, white. Aroma of guava, melons, citrus. Taste wine must, oaky resin, muted melon notes. Taste has tropical fruits, lingering resin, lemon. Good.

From tap. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is peachy, grapefruity and slight soapy hoppy. Fruity sweet impression. Crisp hoppy and fruity far finish.

Bottle from the hotel bar in Mystic. Pours a deep amber color with a smallish off white head. Lots of bready caramel with earthy citrus a mineral to balance, Passable craft beer, but a bit pedestrian.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a somewhat hazy yellow to golden orange color with a decent one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute. There was some light lacing that slid right on into the beer.
The smell had a nice English sweet maltiness running over top of some light bitter piney hops.
The taste was English malty sweet with that same bitter piney hoppiness running underneath to balance it a bit.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body and had a pretty good sessionability about it. The carbonation was suited more towards an English IPA than an American one (there was a certain subdued carbonation about it).
Overall, yup, sure is. This is an English IPA made by an American brewer and its definitely one of the better ones on the market in the U.S. I say get it if you like the EIPA style.

Location: At the Oyster Club in Mystic, 7/13/13
Aroma: The nose is subtle and decent, some floral hops, caramel malts, and doughy notes
Appearance: The pour is a mostly clear orange color with a small off-white head
Flavor: The taste is much the same, balanced and a little dull, mild hops for the style
Palate: The body is light-medium, it has a decent mouthfeel, and a pretty good drinkability
Overall Impression: This was a decent beer, but really, this was an unimpressive IPA. It is drinkable, and not really anything more than that.
