Commercial Description:
India pale ale was brewed in England and shipped to Her Majesty's troops in India. the beer was brewed to a higher alcohol content and more heavily hopped to preserve the beer for its voyage. Our IPA is an American version, which is assertively hopped with Nugget and Centennial varieties of hops balanced by a huge malt body.

Thanks to PilsnerPeter for this one. After I managed to smash the first growler I bought of this, I was glad to see it again. Beautiful deep amber-golden beer. Soft caramelly aroma along with some grapefruit and light tropical pineapple hoppiness. Soft palate, chewy and fruity and a fairly chewy lingering resiny bitterness. It’s quite nice really.

Growler. Poured a slightly hazed amber color with a thin off-white head. The aroma had some nice citrus and orange hop notes with a light malt base. The flavor was a balanced mix of citrus hops and caramel malt. Long moderately bitter finish. Light-medium body.

Growler shared by PilsPete. Hops are pretty earthy and dusty, slightly stinging. The pale malts are pretty tasty too, balancing it out. Decent stuff.

Poured a clear amber color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, caramel malts, grass, light toast, and some pine as well. Taste of caramel, pine, light tobacco, citrus fruits, and a spicy / woody hoppiness in the finish.
