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.

33cl bottle, Winnipeg. Powerful hoppy aroma, does not transfer to the flavour, but still quite hoppy.Head disappears quickly, long bitter finish, nice beer.

Patrickctenchi (1837) - columbus, Indiana, USA - JUN 12, 2013
Pours almost clear amber with a short, soapy head. Aroma is floral with a touch of mint. Taste light, fruity, some breadheel, caramel. Minor floral bittering. A little flat, but an ok taste.

Malty, sweet, and floral. It pours a dark amber with a small off-white cap. Fish Tale is very refreshing. If you find it and want to try an organic beer, this is a good one to give a shot. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Copper pour with a tall off-white head. Sweet caramel and toasted malt aromas. Floral hops, pine, and some notes of grass. A little bit of citrus. Sweet flavor with a lot of caramel. Some toasted bread, floral hops, and a light pine bitterness. Hints of citrus zest and peach.

DrinkEmUpJones (1021) - Georgia, USA - MAY 20, 2013
Clear orange amber color. Little lacing. Hoppy grassy aroma. Medium body with a fairly bitter finish that keeps going on and on. Citrus and grapefruit with some grass undertones. Good IPA overall.

Not a particularly good IPA. Musty with a touch of stale bread. Nice hopping, though. Bitter with a decent mouthfeel.

BeerandBlues2 (7466) - Hanover, Maryland, USA - MAY 4, 2013
Bottle @ Calgary Beer Fest. Pours clear dark orange with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is floral, citrus, and pine hops with cookie and biscuit malt and pear esters. Flavor is medium hops and bitterness with sweet malt, fruity esters and a dry finish. Medium body and carbonation.

Malt forward IPA. Bitterness is not overwhelming, giving rise to other hop flavors. Solid, if unexceptional. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

bensonius (4) - British Columbia, CANADA - APR 29, 2013 does not count
Nice golden yellow colour. Gentle aroma with a slight hint of fruitiness. Taste is rather boring with a hint of dead grass and bitterness that hangs around. Very very slight caramel undertone with bitter finish. There is no real hop zing to clear the palate like I’d expect from a good IPA. Overall I appreciate the natural flavours that are presented, although they are rather lacking. However I wouldn’t call it either fresh or hearty, it’s rather in the middle. Nothing I would really go out of my way to buy again but would gladly purchase over other beer in it’s price range.

Bottle. I was not overly impressed by this IPA. It’s hoppy but thin and flimsy.
