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

Is this an IPA? Certainly much weaker and bitter than almost all ofther PNW IPAs. I found the flavor to be average and lacking any distinction and the it seems they went light on the hops. An IPA made for people who don’t like bitterness or hops in my opinion. Second rate.

Beautiful rich golden-orange color that almost glows. Aroma, taste, and mouthfeel are all a bit light, which is dissapointing after such an eyeful. Overall, not the best IPA, but a very drinkable beer.

Clear, golden amber, with wisps of white head tucked around the edges of the glass. Aroma is of citrusy Northwest-style hops. Flavor is an initial burst of hop tang, which then gives way the a nutty, biscuity middle.. Finishes with surprisingly strong bittering, with mild malty sweetness hanging on for the ride..

light head with rich brown coloring. taste is slightly bitter with a hint of burnt nuts. The carbonation and overall palate is too my liking. overall a decent IPA that gets better with acclimation.

This is a nice,soft,mellow ale;I could mistake this for a pale. Tawny-golden colored.Not a lot of aroma,the hops are subtle yet well balanced with the malt.Smooth mouthfeel with minimum bitter finish.Very drinkable.These could probably go down in quantity on a hot summer day.

The clarity on this beer is exquisite! Fery pleasant Noble Hop Aroma. A decent Hop flavor and the IBU bitterness is appropriatly balanced by the Malt. Overall a find engish IPA. I prefer a little more HOP flavour and IBU such as u get with an american IPA. But this is good nonetheless.

From a bottle into a pint glass. Gold to yellow in color with slight sticking around head. Negligible lacing. Strong bitter taste with a surprisingly smooth finish. Very drinkable or quaffable as I’m told to say. This was my third beer tonight, so I may re-rerate this beer, but all in all an excellent beer for the price.

Bottle. Nothing special here, nice color and I can see some carbonation. Overall a nice beer, but I can’t taste or smell anything that would make it stand out.

Not overly complex or mind blowing, but also not overdone. Nice balance between a pale maltiness, caramel in the background with a good, fresh hop flavor that’s dry on the palette. Some citrus notes in there as well. Slightly grassy. Very drinkable and refreshing IPA, though not mind blowing.
