Commercial Description:
India Pale Ales, or IPA’s, were brewed for British soldiers stationed in India. These ales needed to higher in alcohol and hoppier than normal to survive the long journey, and ours is no exception. Brewed with Belgian and German malts and dry hopped with loads of Cascades, our version honors our friend who had his own grueling journey involving a boat and cold water!

From a growler at DLD.. I’m going to guess that Mike brought it. Poured clear, medium golden with a nice cap of white head. The aroma picked up sweeter pale malts with rising cat pee bitterness as it breathed.. quite well balanced. The flavor focused on the hop blend (pine, grapefruit, and cat pee) with sufficient pale and caramel malt sweetness to back it up.. finished bitter and quite refreshing. Sweet, spicy, and bitter notes formed a good contrast on the palate with more fragrant spicy notes on the back.. I really liked this.

Cloudy golden pour. Kind of a weak IPA as IPAs go with a lemon hint on the tastebuds. A bit dry and slightly overcarbonated.

On tap at the brewery. Yellow, small white head. Light citrus hop, some malt. Flavor is grainy, citrus hops, bubblegum, wheat, banana. Med body, medium carb. Nice standard IPA, maybe more hops would help this one out.

On tap at the Livery. This blond ale poured with a short off-white head. There is a moderately hoppy flavor with a carbonated malt finish. The flavor is a bit thin, but still quite drinkable.
