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.

TheJester (1230) - Peterborough, Ontario, CANADA - JUN 21, 2009
355 mL bottle. Pale, translucent, orange-copper with a small but sticky white head. Lotsa Amarillo in the aroma. Intensely, but not unpleasantly, bitter. Malt backbone could be stronger, but an excellent brew nonetheless.

MrBunn (2006) - Western, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 20, 2009
Bottle. Pours a coppery amber with a medium-sized head and weak aromas... seriously not much going on in the nose. Flavor is a decent enough mix of grapefruit and caramel malt, but lacks a little oomph. Seems unidirectional and not very complex.

Cask Stillage at the GBBF Bar Sans Frontiers Earl’s Court, London 08/08/2007 Fruity pine aroma. Golden coloured very hoppy and fruity pineapple with a crisp slightly woody bitter finish.

Bier brauen (233) - Bremerton, Washington, USA - JUN 14, 2009
65 IBUs as rated by the brewer seem a bit under rated. Also, my bottle is pretty clear, but it has been sitting for 5 months in the fridge. Maybe it’s settled out. Overall though, it’s a good grapefruity type IPA.

Strong, skunky smell. Amber colour. Watery start with a decently bitter end. Okay.

Based on the Aroma I would expect this beer to be full of flavor and bitter with a hint of fruit on the finish but I found it to be a little lacking in body and flavor....

bb (4577) - Alamo, California, USA - JUN 12, 2009
Bottle. Amber beer with a light cream head. Hoppy aroma with light malt. Grapefruit and light pine flavor with caramel. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Pine resin and grapefruit lingers with light malt.
