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.

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.

12 fl. Oz. bottle, served cold in a wine glass.

App.: Deep golden with a fair light green-yellow head. Aroma: A fair amount of grapefruit C-hops, apricots, lighter caramel, apple juice. Palate: Medium body and carbonation. Flav.: Like the nose – lots of apple juice, some caramel, some grapefruit hops; somewhat off-dry, moderate bitterness with some fruitiness that lingers.

Fairly nice, especially for an “organic”.

Another West Coast IPA. It didn’t vary too greatly from the Fish Tale pale ale...just a bit hoppier of course, but both had plenty of bitterness and a blend of sweet notes through the finish. Bottle.
