COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is a full-bodied, very pale and extremely hoppy version of the IPA style for which Pacific Northwest brewers are deservedly famous. The flavor is INTENSE with a dry roasted malt character overlaid by a very assertive hop bitterness and citrus aroma. Like all our Leavenworth beers, Hodgson's India Pale Ale is proudly unfiltered.

Light hazy gold, big white head. Aroma of toffee, fruit, light resin. I had this on draft but the taste seems a little old and mellowed. Lots of fruity malt sweetness, mild bitter finish.

Clear deep amber-copper color, steady off-white head, lace. Lemony, fruity hoppyness in the nose. Medium-bodied. Woody, piney, pine needles and rye bread in the flavor. Less hoppyness than IBUs indicate. Fish Tale’s Organic IPA was quite a lot better.

On tap at the fishbowl pub. Pours orange in color with a thin white head. More hops are needed to this dishwater pale ale. The finish is quick and very watery.

riversideAK (4568) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - JUN 30, 2009
Growler from Fish Tale Brewpub. This one has a great citrus floral hop aroma with a soft underlying malt base. Pours golden orange with a nice head and good lace. The flavor is very citrusy and dry with some light sweetness for a touch of balance. Lots of C hop goodness in this one. Good lingering bitterness and a dry finish. Fantastic for 5.5%.

On cask at Bailey’s. Pours a soft cloudy orange with a big bubbled soapy off-white head. Citrus hops in the nose, crisp and floral with a soft spiciness to it. Very airy palate from the hand pump, very soft on the malts, leaving it heavy on the bitterness in the finish.
