Commercial Description:
XXXX IPA is a non-traditional American IPA with a brilliant copper color and the classic citrus nose of Cascade hops. This beer demonstrates a unique balance of malt-inspired, delicate red grapefruit sweetness and lingering hop dryness. The OG and final Alc./Vol. provide the structure and body to balance the harmony of distinct flavors.Cascade, Warrior,Summit and Glacier hops are used for bittering and Cascade hops are added for dry hopping after fermentation. This hop blend is well balanced with malted wheat, pale ale, crystal, and caramel malts. To full enjoy all the flavors, this ale is best drunk at 55 degrees Fahrenheit. This beer pairs well with Cajun dishes, blackened fish, and BBQ. XXXX draws its name from the British brewing convention of using X’s to denote style. 70 BU,s, 1.092 OG.

Bottle courtesy of Joe at Paul’s tasting. Pours a lightly hazed brown amber with a thin white head. Lots of citrus hops, and a good deal of caramel malt, leading toward oxidization and plums. Medium bodied, light caramel tones, lots of earthy hops. Finishes up with a long bitterness and earthy texture.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Paper, notes, caramel and toffee, cardboard and heavily oxidized. Dim soapy hop tones. Way past its prime.

Bomber. Pours a slightly hazy orange with a thinning head. Aroma is only slightly to moderately hoppy- medium caramel malts come through, toffee, toast, - hops are slight citrus, grass, floral, and phenolic. Has a crackery bland caramel malt medium sweetness, and lightly bitter, with orange and citrus hops throughout- only it is very slight. Good for shipyard, but not even close to a good DIPA. .

22 oz. bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a small white head. The aroma is caramel malt, fruity emphasizing peaches, and somewhat floral in nature. The flavor is caramel malt, peach fruity, floral with a harsh bitterness in the finish. The alcohol becomes apparent as it warms. Better than the other Pugsley’s offerings, but not something I would seek out again.

Thanks to Grant for picking this one up in harrisburg, pa. From a 22oz bomber at home. I felt this beer was understated in the hops. I think this would be a good barleywine, but it was not very hoppy except in the finishing bitterness. Slightly sweet and very malty.

(br-btl gn-lbl 22oz, $10)

lct-cpr, thin-lasting-wh-head, full-body, med-co2.

aroma: bready-biscuity-malt dark-citrusy-hops.

flavor: ^bready-biscuity-malt ^leafy-citrus-hops, hops are not super bitter or bright but blend right into the crml flavors (like candied hop cones).

really enjoyed this beer, especially once it warmed up a bit.
