COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Four in Hand India Pale Ale is an easy drinking craft beer. It boasts a spicy hop character, blended with smooth malt flavor for a balanced finish. Pale, Crystal & Caramel Malts give this beer a rich flavor profile, while the combination of four different hops - CTZ, Chinook, Willamette & Golding – offer a distinctive, spicy aroma & long hoppy finish.

Its a little bit of good, but mostly just is content with being a supermarket brand ipa.

philipmeese (53) - Rowayton, Connecticut, USA - APR 2, 2013
12oz bottle. Pours a warm orange with a thick foamy head that lasts a while. Aroma light hops. Unusually sweet, caramel and bright flavor propelled by a medium body. A little too sweet for my tastes.

Not good enough to be called a middle-of-the-road IPA. It’s not a bad beer, but IMHO it is too malty and lacking in hops.

UnDecaf (95) - Mountain View, California, USA - FEB 8, 2013
Pretty dreadful. Dank, slightly sweet nose. Very biting flavor with not much to enjoy - mostly a hard alcoholic start with a sweeter ending with a little bit of pine. Very fizzy on the tongue.

RSRIZZO (1810) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - FEB 5, 2013
12oz bottle (courtesy of Headbanger) poured into a Shaker at 40°. Color of honey with mellow carbonation and a rocky head. Aroma is a light hop scent with a back note of malt. It has a lighter medium body with a crisp mouth feel. Flavor is light malt showing some caramel sweetness, then a little pine, yeast and grass. After taste has a sweet citrus feel. Overall its not the best, drinkable but the flavors don’t fit right.

Pours cloudy amber with a fully receding white head. Notes of resinous piney hops, lightly sweet. Underwhelming.

JCB (3808) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - DEC 17, 2012
Departmental picnic tick. Thanks, colleague! Filmy dank orange pour with a medium, almost depressed looking carbonation. Heady, super sweet nose augurs poorly. Harshly bitter at one moment, overly sweet and syrupy the next. A misfire in more than one way.

dfearnley (325) - Alberta, CANADA - DEC 1, 2012
12 oz bottle to pint glass Caramel malt, perfume, celery, pine, orange and resin. Clear amber with light particulates and a thick diminishing white head. Peppery and slightly sour with a slightly skunky back if the tongue bitterness on the finish. Light body, thin and chalky.

12oz bottle in a tulip. Pours copper with an off-white head. Aroma of light citrusy hops plus some pale and light caramel malts. Flavor the same. Average texture. Not the best IPA.
