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.

MiP (11256) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - SEP 10, 2008
Bottle. OK grassy and caramelly aroma. Cloudy copper colour with lots of floating bits. Big stable creamy white head. The flavour is quite bitter, with some malt. Also caramelly, but not as much as the aroma. Good beer, albeit a bit one-dimensional.
