Central Waters Glacier Trail IPA

Bottle... This beer rocks!... Lightly hazed orange ale with a mid-sized, frothy, off-white head. Lengthy, creamy retention. The aroma is a churning eddy of malty aromas... brown sugar, caramel, praline and toffee with some type of mystery fruit working its way into the mix. Full-bodied with a chewy mouthfeel and prickly carbonation. The sturdy malt backbone (and there is certainly one provided here) is needed to even attempt to balance-out the acrid and bitter plethora of hops thrown into the boil. Finishes bitter and then dry. A malt head’s IPA! World class, under appreciated brew! Kudos to pepsican for shipping this liquid happiness to me!

Subtle, inscrutable. The balance between the malt, hops, pine, carmel, and zesty citrus flavors is impressive. No slegehammer, but dry. Crisp yet somehow a funky grass note. Medium body and carbonation, accessible ale. A faint sneaky pair fruit note. Fitting name.

Soft pine aroma,very pleasant,ataste is the same with mild malt backing. I mulled over this for a while,and though its not super intense,its almost a perfect American IPA,no faults , hop emphsized but not intensely so. I’m a BJCP judge,and if a brew like this were submited in a contest, I’d be forced to almost give it a perfect score

On tap at the brewery. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a tanned head. Sweet with some bitterness. Hoppy aromas of grapefruit and apples. Medium bodied. Low carbonation.

Appealing piney aroma. Excellent carbonation and a distinctive bitter aftertaste. For a local brewer, these guys are really have some talent. Have had many IPAs by larger and more reputable brewers, some don’t measure up to this. Also, I enjoyed it more with each taste.
