Commercial Description:
Fish Tale IPA is a medium bodied ale with a bright golden color and robust strength. While Pale, Carastan, and Munich malts lend a gentle sweetness and balance to the background palate, this ale is dedicated to complex hop flavor.

Hazy copper pour, light white head with some retention. Aroma pretty evenly balanced between dry-hebal and piney-floral, definitely high-alpha hops in shameless quantities. Flavor is a touch on the grassy side for me but is quite palatable all the same, if perhaps not in vast quantities. Very pleasant mouthfeel. Worth having again.

12oz bottle: pours an amber brown with quick fading off white head, aroma is filled with citrus style hops, flavor is like a mild DFH 90 min IPA, very complex hop flavor. i wasnt expecting much from this beer but its pretty damn good. only change i would make is add a little more malt.

Bottle. Clear orange color, minimal head. Mild hoppy aroma with some banana. Citrus hops and little else. Not a bad flavor, but pretty watery. Peppery finish.

Wasn’t sure what to expect from this. All organic IPAs/APAs have a very similar and bland hop profile. But on the other hand, I have liked the 2 other offerings I’ve had from the brewer. Amber colored, moderate head, decent lacing and retention. Surprisingly grapefruity nose, notes of citrus and pine, some caramel. Lighter bodied for the style, but not light. Moderate to high bitterness, solid hop flavors. Not great, but better than almost any other organic IPA/APA I can think of.
