Commercial Description:
Sweetgrass India Pale Ale has been a GTBC staple since early 2002. Brewed solidly in the American IPA style, Sweetgrass is crisp and fragrant with a generous yet smooth hop character. XX Sweetgrass is all that twice over, with double the malt and double the hops--an astonishing three pounds per barrel in the kettle and another pound per barrel of "dry-hops" added after fermentation. The hops provide citrusy, resinous spiciness, making this beer a great match for any bold, flavorful food.

A very sweet and malty brew. Lemony aroma with the taste of lemon and other citrus flavos. Sweet and sticky mouthful and finish. A little sloppy but no too bad.

Sampled at YEHA. Poured hazy copper color with beige head. Aroma of citrus hops, with a caramel malt base. Taste is of the same. Nice hop taste. Not over the top. Very drinkable.

One of those you need to have a bigger sample of to really rate it. Small sample @ YEHA. Prety nice everall. Not much hops. Balanced flavors with some woodsy and floral aspects. I mostly got a balance of fruity hops and caramel malts.

Big ass 1L waxed swingtop bottle. This is more along the lines of an American Strong Ale that a Double IPA. A lot more malt forward in aroma and flavor. Snickers Bar aroma: Caramel, nuts, nougat. Some toffee Muted pine resin. Pours copper with a thick, rocky white head leaving very sticky lacing down the glass. Actually, fairly decent interplay of grassy, piney hops and sweet, sticky malt. Orange jam, toffee, a hint of bread dough. Hell... as this warms, it becomes better and better. Medium to full bodied and quite rich and creamy. Finishes with some zesty citrus and caramel malt.
