COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This English style IPA is a full-flavored, full-bodied brew that has a big bold malt character and intense aromatics. 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. This classic English style IPA is brewed with: 2-row Pale malt and is hopped with Challenger and East Kent Goldings hops

I see balance in the commercial description and that is what I get out of this IPA. It is not the hoppiest pale ale I have had but it is definitely an IPA. Good solid example of the style. Not the best IPA I have ever had but still a very good one, especially for the price. I would definitely buy again.

UPDATED: MAR 10, 2009 Light roasted toasty bread malt body - touch of grassy, spicy hops with a noticable, muted bite. Pretty dry and smooth. English style IPA it is - a nice example of the style.

Swalden28 (2540) - McKinney, Texas, USA - JUL 30, 2008
Bottle, Plano Beverage in Plano, TX. Pours a very nice looking clear light amber with thick odd-white head that laces the glass. Nice aroma of grapefruit. Taste is not overwhelming, Very nice malt, hop, and strong bitter. Medium-full mouthfeel and high carbonation. This is a very nice drinking beer, refreshing.

On draft at the Full Sail Brewery in Hood River, OR. Nice 4 oz sample. Hoppy and delicious. Very crisp and almost spicy, but well-balanced.

Pours clear orange with white head. Aromas of floral hops, grass and sweet malts. Mild hoppy flavor balanced nicely by the maltiness. To me this seems more like an APA than an IPA but it is still a good session ale. Medium body with average carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. Quite enjoyable.

JK (3398) - Uptown, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - JUL 27, 2008
Well carbonated. Gold color. Tall, thick head. The flavor has dry grass and dirt, balanced with malt. Not nearly enough hops for a West Coast ipa.

Headbanger (2072) - Aurora, Illinois, USA - JUL 26, 2008
12oz bottle(courtesy of RSRIZZO)-Pours a golden copperish body with a nice small tight off white head. Aroma of hops and pine. Taste of the same with some malt thrown in. This medium bodied brew is a decent beer but I’m not a big fan of English style IPA.
