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.

A: The beer pours a golden amber color with a finger of white head and a bit of lacing. S: A nice citrus hop aroma to this beer with plenty of grapefruit scents and a nice pine quality to it. Quite perfumey with heavy floral hop notes to it as well. A bit of sweet malt and bread. T: Rather heavy on the pine flavor and bitterness, which is nice. A good amount of grapefruit flesh and peel, which also adds a bit of bitterness, but also a nice bite. Some sweet pale malt flavor breaks up the intense hoppiness. M: Medium bodied with medium carbonation. O: I was pleasantly surprised by this. As long as you can get this one fresh, it’s a pretty solid IPA.

Sampled @ SBWF 2011 on September 29. Pours hazy orange with a white head. Smell is rather light with some malt and ash in it. Taste is fruity and fresh from the American hops. There are clear citrus notes. Bitterness is prominent and the beer has a rather dry taste and finish.

this was from cask. Poured a nice medium orange color with a good foamy head. very good complexity on the nose with a lot of hops, loads of citrus’, and fresh picked oranges. Good depth with good hops to the aromas as well fuller bodied with a real smooth feel and lots of hop and citrus tones. I really liked this more from cask than from what I’ve had in the past. The aromas were really good and the feel was very good. This was a real quality IPA

Bottle in NY. Pretty decent but might be more edgy. Nice colour and aroma, fruity tones less then expected.
