Commercial Description:
While respectfully following the guidelines of this traditional British ale, we added a truly American twist. Using 100% U.S. grown hops throughout the brew, a complex variety of imported and domestic malts, and a truly unique British yeast, the result is a well balanced India Pale Ale. One that exemplifies the classic style, yet brings with it the flavors and aromas of our American hop innovations without forgetting the barley.

Nice honey-colored pour with a quarter-inch white head. Citrusy hop nose. A little sharp in the flavor department at first, but the malt character comes out as it warms and balances the hop spiciness. A pleasant beer, but not overly earth shattering.

Grapefruit, yeast, chestnut, and walnut nose. Dingy orange color, floaties, no head. Flavor is grapefruit, pine needle, and caramel malt. Grapefruit zest on the palate. Mildly refreshing, full of flavor.

12 oz. Clear, burnt orange with a 3-finger, lasting head. Pleasant earthy citrus, peach, and resin aroma. Malt dominated front is slowly overtaken by the resiny hop bitterness, but still leaves some nice roasted grain flavors mixed with the bitter herb and resin hop in the aftertaste. Light medium-body is smooth and sessionable.
