Commercial Description:
So named because it had to endure long sea voyages from breweries in England to outposts on the fringes of the British Empire. IPA is a high alcohol, well-hopped brew to enable it to last the voyage and not spoil. 50 IBU's, 15.38 Plato, 6.3% ABV

22 oz. bottle - pours clear and gold; lacing remains as white head fades; aromas of stale hops and drinks with a grainy texture; fruity and wet finish; bitters are muted; decent, but nothing to write home about

22 oz bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar: Clear golden color with a small white head. Light floral citrus aroma. Flavor is fruity and orangy with a light grassy bitterness and a fairly dry orange rind finish. Medium body is sticky with moderate carbonation.

4oz sample from the Blue Frog in Fairfield, CA. Just like Timfoolery it smelled a little like vinyl. The hops were bitter that left a bad taste in my mouth. Not one of your better IPA’s.

On tap at groggery. This IPA was lighter on the hops, although they had an interesting flowery smell, almost like vinyl.

Copper amber color with a decent head. Aroma is very floral, piney, earthy, and herbal. Hops come through up front and are nice and earthy with a good amount of pine. A little malty sweetness makes an appearance too. Nice bitter finish, but I thought there was a touch of astringency in here that made it a little hard to palate at times.

From a 22 oz bottle this poured a hazy orange with a moderate white head and light lacing. Nose of citrus hops and caramel malts. Medium mouthfeel Flavors are heavy on the hops and light on the malts. Finish is slightly bitter. Very drinkable IPA.

Poured into a pint glass. Honey-colored, a little light for an IPA. Head is pretty modest at a half inch, despite a vigorous pour. Leaves some thin lacing. Smells like melting plastic. No hoppiness, a hint of maltiness. Not good. As far as flavor, this beer doesn’t taste bad, but it doesn’t taste like an IPA either. Closer to a pale ale, with a toasty maltiness that overrides the weak hoppiness. The plastic from the aroma is nearly gone in flavor but there’s a little bit there. Mouthfeel is fairly good, with appropriate carbonation and body. A little high on alcohol and there’s not enough flavor to justify it. Not impressed at all.
