Commercial Description:
ENDO INDIA PALE ALE is said to be "Brewed with Altitude". The style is similar to IPAs from the Pacific Northwest. We dry-hoop Endo with Cascade hops to enhance the aroma and bitterness.

Tasted on a recent visit to Woods on South in Charlotte, NC. Pours a generally clear amber color with thin white head. Aroma is hoppy with some notes of spice. Flavor is very similar to most IPAs with some citrus notes, hoppy-bitterness, and a light to medium mouthfeel. Quick, bitter finish.

On tap, pours a cloudy brownish reddish with a small white head. Aroma is earthly malty, nothing special. Taste is the same. Earthy hops’ not that bitter, it’s got a watery taste but is not a watered down beer. It dries out your mouth in the aftertase, which is probably why I’m drinking this so fast. Not bad, nothing to write home about.

Pours clear copper with big creamy off-white head that lasts halfway down the glass. Refreshing aroma of piney/citrus hops. Taste is malty, with moderate hop complement. Moderate body with a a nice moderate bitter bite. Nice every day brew.

On tap at Charlotte Airport (2007). Nothing special, a little hop on the mouth, less so on the nose. Nice color though. Out of the four tried that evening it was the best of them, and also came highly recommended (which isn’t much noting it was at the airport)

I wonder if the bottle I sampled was old but this was not very impressive. No significant aroma (for an IPA) and I’m surprised to read it was dry hopped with cascade as the normal citricy, grapefruit taste/smell didn’t come through like a normal west coast style IPA. I really enjoyed the brewpub from years ago but this beer didn’t work for me.
