Commercial Description:
To admit that the brewer at Half Pints is a bit of a hophead is an understatement. This India Pale Ale is unabashedly hoppy, not only from the Amarillo hops we add to the brew kettle, but also from the northwest U.S. variety called Cascade that we add directly to the final tank. A firm toasted malt presence forms the background for all of these hops, and we're confident our Little Scrapper IPA could take other so-called IPA's to the mat if called upon to do so. Try it with a curry or a basket of beer battered fish & chips. Serve in a glass at 8 degrees celcius. Unpasturized.

Bottle from Brewery Creek: Pours a medium amber colour with a nice off white head. Malty aroma, some dusty wet wool tones, floral hop coming through later. Flavour was not as hoppy as I’d hoped. Malt dominated body with a yeasty taste on the fringes. light to medium bitter finish

Bottle. Good relaxed, pine hop nose,not overdoing the resins. Hazy golden, nice lacing egshell foam. Light body - easy on the malt, a bit apricot, big on the pine hoppy side. Dry oily finish. Rosmarin retronasal.

I was warned that this was a drain-pour by a friend, so I was prepared to be disappointed. Pours a slightly hazy dull amber with a nice creamy head with decent retention. Aroma is questionable - slightly corny, not particularly remarkable. Taste is not terrible - malt, a bit of an oily bil-like hop taste which grates a bit but otherwise better than the stack of pale ales and lagers I had the previous night at a local pub. Good carbonation, crisp finish. High alcohol definitely evident. There’s nothing terribly wrong with this beer - I think it would go quite nicely with a burger & fries or curry. Weird taste in the finish, though... can’t quite figure out what it is...
