COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The “IRA”, as it’s known around here, marries a ruby red color and rich body with the hop flavors of an IPA. Our unique ale yeast strain adds a delicious layer of complexity. One of the first beers we made, and an enduring favorite. Brewed with Gambrinus Organic Pilsner malt, imported crystal malt, Simcoe and Brewers’ Gold hops. 6.8% ABV, 55 BU

Hazy amber colour. Slightly spicy caramel and brown sugar nose with a hint of hop herbaceousness. Very quaffable - heck, slightly watery - with a balanced Simcoe-toast-caramel character. Somehow I wish for more in this brew but that’s not to say I don’t like what’s there.

First beer I ever tried from this brewery and what a delight. Poured an orange-red hue. deep and fruity. Subtle Rochefort yeast surprised me. Nothing like any Belgian I’ve had before. Bitter and bad ass!

Great new brewery in Hood River Oregon. This was my first beer from here. The IRA was a great India Red Ale. Has a very nice deep reddish color with a Belgian twist in the flavors. This IPA was actually with a fruity flavor. Deep hop flavors and a light fruitiness this was a great beer. Finishes dry with a strong flavor. Loved this beer. Great stuff can’t wait to try more from this place.

Draft: This beer pours a hazy deep red/orange with a very thin white head. Aroma is of malt and some hops and a tiny bit of fruit. Flavor is richly malty and has a decent bitterness. Not quite IPA bitterness though. Subtle fruit esters. A strong hoppy grapefruit finish. The citrusy hops dance on your tongue as it goes down. Pretty excellent first beer.
