COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
I.P.A.’s complex hoppy finish is the traditional style of British ales specially brewed for the long passage to India. Top-fermented and dry-hopped, this I.P.A is brewed with Centennial hops, Cascade hops, Two-row Roasted Barley malt and Special Roasted malt.

I’m with Aubrey - they’ve used the term IPA loosely for this one, but I’m not complaining. This was an interesting and complex beer. It had a big malt presence, with toffee and caramel flavors. Only moderately bitter, but with some interesting hop flavors: spicy, citrusy, and floral.

Medium copper color with some turbidity. Fruity, floral aroma. Tasty roasted malt flavor with a bit of sweetness. Hops become more pronounced as it warms, but not to the extent of many American style IPA's. Smooth, malty finish.

I suppose an English style IPA since the hop profile was a bit restrained. A very good beer overall, however. Silky smooth going down; biscuit-like malty flavor; finishes with a crisp, subtle citrus hop flavor. Another strong New Amsterdam brew!

Clear gold with a slightly grayish sticky head. Not much nose, but what's there has toffee notes. The description of the beer mentions Centennial and Cascade hops; don't get them at all. Very much a British-style IPA, with a toffee-butterscotch character. Finishes slightly sweet, which accents the toffee nicely. Pretty good stuff.

Pours amber with a white head. Smells of citrus and caramel with some earthiness. Tastes earthy with some tea hints and a hint of spice on the finish.

Nice orange body with a medium eggshell-white head that dissipates fairly quickly. Floral aroma with some honey, relatively restrained. Flavor is tame, definitely not an American-styled IPA. The sweet maltiness is more noticeable than the hops. But the hops are there, floral and slightly citrusy. Slight bitter aftertaste. Good solid body, slightly chewy.
