Bitter Root India Pale Ale

Brewed by Bitter Root Brewing
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Hamilton, Montana USA

*did not like would not buy* aroma: fine pale ale nose. mild. App: orange whiskey. Flavor: water dry pepper acid not much goin on. its ok. Palate: water and spice. OA: eh. its normal and ok and forgetable.

Bottle courtesy of kyzr: Pours a transparent copper bronze with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale malt and some mildly grassy hops. Body starts with decent fullness and a light caramel sweetness with some big bittering hop balance. A decent IPA with a crisp finish.

Pours a copper color with a white head. Aroma is grainy, astringent, and some earthy hops. Flavor is grainy, malt, caramel, and a bitter astringent finish.

Pours cloudy orange red with a light 1/16 inch head. Below average lacing. Under carbonated with a super sweet hoppy flowery citrus smell. Very fruity that is unusual for an India pale ale. The light flowery hops dominate the malts . It finishes with a light sweetness with just a hint bitterness. This is does not taste like an IPA ale.

22oz. Bottle: Aroma of herbal hops, cardboard, grass, and grains. Poured amber in color with a medium-sized, creamy, rocky, off-white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Excellent lacing. Flavor is medium bitter. Tastes of herbal hops, caramel malts, grains, honey, and grass. Medium body. Thin, sticky texture. Soft carbonation. Bitter, herbal, hoppy, dry finish.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with kyzr (thanks!). So, my master plan for World domination through becoming the #1 rater for IPAs have finally been realized. I demand $1 millllllion dollars! Poured a medium and clear orangish color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of floral hops, some caramel, and light citrus. Tastes of caramel, tea leaves, and some floralness. More sweet than bitter (but it is described as in the English Style). Thinner body.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one. Pours with a small frothy head over a medium orange body. Light malt with a strong vegetable aroma. Off flavored as well. Thin and unexciting.

Thanks kyzr for the bomber. Aroma is extremely faint. Perhaps some floral perfumey hops, but they are hard to find. Pours a goldish copper with a head that disappears quickly. Flavor is really that of a golden ale. Its got some moderatley sweet light malts, a little bit of a honey thing going on, and a light floral finish. Rather light and easy drinking, this is a great session beer. Not alot of bitterness, no dryness, a little lingering sweetness. All in all, a nice balanced drinkable beer. It didnt seem to really be an IPA to me though. Maybe more like an English Pale Ale. Still a tasty brew.
