COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Smuttynose IPA is a physical salute to the glory of the American hop grower. The citrusy hop flavor coming from a mixture of Simcoe and Santiams is pleasantly balanced by a smooth bitterness from the Amarillo hops. The beer itself is light bodied and crisp with a golden color that will throw a slight haze, as we bottle it unfiltered. At 65 IBU’s, this is definitely not a training-wheels IPA, but is meant for hop lovers looking to satisfy their craving in a way that’s not easy to find. We think they’ll be quite pleased.

Ottima ipa molto profumata e discretamente complessa al palato con note agrumate ed equilibratamente luppolate. Il finale secco è amarissimo e ripaga ampiamente l’attesa della deglutizione. Good!!!

Bottle. High fluffy and lasting white head. Hazy amber body. Oranges lemon peach grass aroma. Dry citrus grass hops bitterness that stays for a long time. Low carbonation.

zandcbeer (11) - New Jersey, USA - JAN 23, 2011
A beer with citrus hops, Smuttynose IPA is an orange amber color, clear, and has a light bitterness. This beer has a light body, slick texture and soft carbonation, with a long finish.

Väriltään Smuttynose IPA on amber ja sameakin se on. Pihkainen, katkera ja hedelmäinen olut.

What a fantastic lable work on this bottle. Makes you wanna wish that you are ending up on a lawn like that one day. Drinking beers with a pal just watching the cars pass while poppin another. Poured in a tulip glass leaving a glowing hazy dark amber topped with a foamy white head. Nice. Fresh hoppy aroma with sweet notes like in honey melons and syrup. A little off note of metal or something like that. The taste is classic IPA with a nice bitterness in front. The bitterness is long lasting and is the last thing to leave you in the finish. Sweet citric notes like in blood oranges and a sweetness like honey. Mouthfeel is medium with a creamy touch. Nice Ipa with a pretty agressive finish.

Ajalbert (11) - North Carolina, USA - JAN 22, 2011
A grapefruity hop character and pairs well with the crisp, light body to make a great IPA

Damico (1222) - Royersford, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 21, 2011
The aroma is light sweet hops, like candy wheat almost. The IPA pours a beautiful orange golden with a big creamy white head, and even some sediment. The flavor is a palatable hoppy beer with no big sweet or bitter notes, just a nice blend of both with notes of light sweet tangerine, as in the nose.

12 oz. bottle from nbondi- thanks again, Nick! Pours a cloudy golden color with an orange tint and a finger-thick white head. Aroma of floral hops, citrus, sweet and caramel malts, sweet bread, and a few herbal notes. Flavor of floral hops, grapefruit, tropical fruits, sweet pale malts, and apple juice. Light-bodied, with medium carbonation and a floral, somewhat fruity mouthfeel. Very nice, straightforward, everyday type of IPA.
