Commercial Description:
This Traditional IPA is a hophead's dream. The distinct sharpness of British hops and moderate alchohol are balanced by a dry, malty profile and crisp flavor. The result is a brew as smooth as a sunset paddle on the glassy waters of Lac Du Bay. Seasonal March - October.

Bottle. [Tasting @ Papsoe 20-10-2008] Large creamy beige head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Cloudy amber color. Aroma of sweet pineapple, apricot, caramel, fruit. Over the palate came bitter floral notes with counter malty sweet fruity and malty notes. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and mild dry texture. Moderated sweet and bitter flavor. Lingering bitter dry finish.

Cloudy/hazy orange-amber with a medium off-white slowly retiring head. Aroma of citrus, bread, caramel. Taste of sweet malt, hops, caramel, spice with a medium bitter finish. Seems a little over malted for a true IPA, but who knows, I’m just dreaming about this one it seems. It did hide the alcohol well though.
