It’s a well-balanced, golden-colored brew that has a crisp hop finish that doesn’t bite. With its palate cleansing finish, IPA is a perfect for highly spiced dishes with curry, ginger, garlic or cumin.

Full Sail IPA shows its British roots early with a light toffee aroma which peeks through a heavy floral hop nose. Light on the palate, this is definitely a hop driven beer. Fruity and lightly bitter throughout, it ends on a juicy hop note that recedes slowly. Bottom of the glass and we have a mass of thin lacing. A simple but pleasing middle of the road IPA.

(Draft @ Epcot, WDW, Orlando, FL) Served in a plastic cup. Hazy amber with two fingers of off white head. Aroma fruity, flowery, caramel, vanilla. Mouthfeel smooth, medium-full. Solid rings of lacing. Taste is fruity and lightly flowery over light caramel. Bitter pinch in finish.

haddon90 (1200) - Tustin, California, USA - OCT 13, 2011
Clear copper color with a decent white head. Grapefruit aroma with some hops spread thought the background. Smooth, but nice sense of hops and tartness. Pretty good balance. Not too overpowering but tart and crisp enough to having you want more. Dry finish.

BiochemProf (179) - Boone, North Carolina, USA - OCT 13, 2011
Clear light copper pour with a quickly fading white head. Nice dank earthy and citrus hop aroma. Faint flavor of roast caramel at the start followed by a pleasing strong bitterness. Medium bodied nice carbonation with a bit of astringency. Very nice IPA ... has a subtle but evident malt presence without being sweet.

Not bad, a crisp lemonade type fruity hop aroma, medium citric hop flavors, balanced finish is bready. Clean and easy drinking, decent enough.

A nice IPA. Tap in Denver. Nice hoppy flavor - more citrus to my tastes. A bit of malt taste in the middle, but a nice hoppy finish. A good IPA. I’d get it again.

ROGUE (1315) - Newark, Delaware, USA - SEP 20, 2011
12oz bottle. Pours a clear light copper color with a frothy, thin, pale tan head. The aroma has notes of citrus, a grassy herbals, grain, toasty malt a hint of caramel. The taste begins with a moderate hoppiness. Then a mild maltiness comes in, and then there’s a dry, grassy finish. Creamy, medium body with lighter carbonation.

MrBeerFanatic (502) - jamestown, New York, USA - SEP 13, 2011
Pours a more deeper body of golden with a light frothy head. Aromas of citrus/floral hops, slight caramel candy, and a little grass. Flavors of apricot, resiny earthy/grassy hops, and leaves a crisp bitter note finish. Light to medium palate and slightly resinous. A pretty average ipa that’s pretty solid all around. Unfortunately it is easily forgettable amongst so many others that fall into this range of rating.
