Commercial Description:
Revered by beer lovers the world over for its bold flavor, India Pale Ale was born of necessity in the 1700s. Its high alcohol content and copiously-hopped brewing process were required to survive the journey to British soldiers in India. We brew our India Pale Ale in Hood River, Oregon with flavorful Pacific Northwest hops and the finest two-row barley malt. The result is a refreshing brew with an aromatic, full-hop flavor anchored by caramel malt sweetness—perfect for sharing with friends on a Pacific Northwest summer’s day.

Bottle. Poured medium honey amber with a thick lasting white head. Rather too foamy as it almost spilled over the top of the glass. Faint floral aroma. Light body, not full like an IPA IMHO should be. Lekker lasting hoppy finish. This beer ended much better than it began. It’s a servicable inexpensive IPA and rather better than some of Henry’s other offerings.

355 ml bottle. Clear golden body with a white head. Weak hoppy aroma with a hint of citrus. Flavor is balanced and nice, but not particular hoppy. Imagine a traditionally British IPA hop level, but with American hops.

Clear, pale yellow and fizzy with a 2 inch head. Rolling continuous carbonation within. Looks very attractive for a pale yellow brew. Dirty hop aroma. Medium hop bite, much less than I expected for an IPA. Perhaps this more like a strong APA instead of an IPA. Possibly a good intro IPA for a lager lover. However, finish is sufficiently lingering and bitter annoying to be an IPA.

Amber colored. Aroma is light butteryness with some citric hops. Medium to light bodied, moderate to low bitterness. Pretty bland.

The best thing this beer has going for it is it’s appearance. It’s a nice clear golden color. The head leaves some lacing down the side of the glass. Other than that, I’d rather have a MOR lawmower lager thirst quencher. With today’s heightened beer prices, I had to give it a try.

Bottle. Light and simple, as expected. Nose has a definite buttered corn note to go with clean malt and medium grassy hop presence. Brisk and grassy hops but pale and simple throughout. Lightly drying, simple but flavorful green hops, but lacks any sort of juiciness or freshness, rather it’s dried grass and pale malt. Simple, uninspired, par for the course for HW, but overall it’s drinkable and pleasent.
