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.

Draft. Crystal clear golden pour, stark white foam, decent foam and lacing. Citrusy nose, some toasted malt hiding in there too. Somewhat astringent bitterness and a bit thin.

tastybeer (950) - Washington DC, USA - DEC 4, 2009
Bottle. Pours dark golden with white head and lots of lacing. Taste is citrus, grapefruit, pepper/basil? It’s different but I just don’t care for it. Good amount of hoppiness though.

Wasn’t very impressed with this beer didnt’ think it was that well balanced, maybe i got a bad batch, but I think they over did it with the hops not that great of an effort from smuttynose

radioseer (267) - Virginia, USA - NOV 29, 2009
(12 ounce bottle - pint glass) pours a golden haze. Has a small head but very thick lacing. Has a hoppy aroma. Taste is hoppy. Light bodied and thin texture. Has soft carbonation, lightly bitter finish. Overall a good ipa.

LanceUppercut (139) - SWEDEN - NOV 26, 2009
A fruity nose of elderflowers, pineapple, lemon and basil. Taste contains grape, dandelion and basil. Finish is bitter and alcoholic. I’d like more fruity notes and less bitterness.

StinkBall (124) - Asheville, North Carolina, USA - NOV 25, 2009
Light orange (about 10 SRM) with a thick white head that leaves a nice lacing. Nice hoppy smell with a slight citrus aroma. Nice hop infusion. Not my favorite IPA but the bitter aftertaste with the palate is nice. Reminds me of Hop Stoopid. A good session beer. Nice but not anything to write home about.
