Commercial Description:
Pale copper in color, but big in body and flavor with a heady hop character. The IPA uses spring water and snow melt from high in the Eagle Cap Wilderness. Terminal Gravity used over 50% Marris Otter pale ale malt imported from the British Isles for a traditional British flavor. It adds several other malts from the Northwest and Europe. TG IPA has over 2 pounds of hops per barrel, finishing with British Fuggles for that classic aroma.

Huge rocky head on a brownish/gold body. Subdued nose--some citric hops, slightly sweet, somewhat roasty. Thinnish flavor--some coffee notes, slightly metallic, with fairly bitter, citric hops.

Foamy off-white head, slightly hazy orange body. Dominating hop aroma with some sweet toffee hints. Bitter hoppy and slightly earthy flavor and a dry end.

Citrus and too bitter. Could not finish my sample. Hop aroma, nothing else. Where’s my malt? Medium bodied. Wood, grass, I don’t know what other particles, bad herbal tea. In fact, took a tea to clean the palate after this one. Hooray! Hooray! Another IPA. Radekfest 05 sample 31.

Copper color, beige head. Floral hop aroma, pleasant and inviting. However what you end up getting invited to is one dimentional, very dry, and astringent. I’ll manage to get by without it again.

Sampled at Radekfest - Thanks! Big hop nose - herbal and green. This is a bit watery and could use more malt to back up the hops.
