Commercial Description:
Editor's Note: Formerly Woodstock IPA, now known as Oak-Aged IPA.

Woodstock IPA is an authentic wood-conditioned India Pale Ale with the distinctive flavor of the British Empire’s original. Traditional IPAs were distinguished by rich hops, which were generously added to preserve the beer during its long overseas voyage between England and India. They were also characterized by striking oak flavor, as the beer made its journey in wooden barrels. Woodstock IPA matures in oak and is dry-hopped during the aging process to bring you the classic style.
Specs: Original Gravity 15.5, Specific Gravity 1062, Hop Bitterness 45 IBU

Bottle: Pours dark amber color with a medium eggshell head. Some hops come through in the aroma with floral, citrus, and spice. There is a nice scent of oak that really compliments the small amount of malt tones and pear in the nose. Easy to drink, this beer tastes of grapefruit citrus, apple, oak, floral hops, a bit of caramel, and some whiskey/vanilla/chocolate notes. I really like the oak flavor.

Pours amber and hazy with a white head. Smells of sweet caramel, citrus, oaky. Tastes dry and uninspired with a sweet citrussy finish and lots of bitterness hanging around.

Bottle. Poured a hazy brown body with thin head. Aroma is hops, some wood. Flavor is malty, lightly bitter hoppiness and some oak. Odd bitterness to it.

12 oz. bottle pours an amber colored fluid with a slight white head. Smell is woody, with smoked malts, and a subtle hop aroma. Medium bodied with a rich, creamy mouthfeel. Taste has a strong malt presence followed by a tasty hop bitterness. A unique taste here, definately not your typical West Coast IPA. nov 2004.... 2007 update : with all the barrel aged beers nowdays, how come there’s not more aged IPA or DIPA’s out there? Because this beer wasn’t a huge success doesn’t mean the style is not suited to aging, does it ?

Had this beer on 3/20/1999 when it was known as Woodstock IPA. Color is a deep gold with a touch of brown, carbonation is good but head seems a bit thin. Aroma is a lightly sweet malt scent. Taste is very oakey, reminds me of Jack Daniel’s. It starts with a medium body as it goes down and oak taste begins. The finish begins with the oak flavor taking on a sharpness and some mild bitterness comes through. Overall the oak makes for a little too sharp of a bite for me but I think this is what they wanted it to be like. It’s probably a good beer for when you feel like having a Whiskey but don’t want to drink hard alcohol.

An enjoyable IPA with a good character, although for me not one that stands out in any way either. If I could buy this beer regularly, I might drink it occasionally as a table beer but do not consider it one to seek out as a special one.

(Bottle, Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Amber colour with brief white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of rubber, oak and dried fruit. Fruity taste with balanced notes of hops, dried fruit, wood, vanilla and rubber. Rather sweet. Tasty and nice, well balanced. But can’t help feeling something is missing (some dry hopping?).
