Commercial Description:
The Hippie I.P.A. continues to be the Buckeye Brewing Company’s best selling beer. First brewed in the summer of ’98, the “Hippie” has become a Cleveland classic among hop lovers. Reminiscent of ales brewed on the Pacific west coast, the Hippie I.P.A. is big, rich in malt and chock full of hops. American malts are used in the grain bill, including pale ale, crystal, dextrin malt and torrified wheat. It is hopped five times with a combination of Northern Brewer and Cascade. After fermentation, hops are added “dry” to impart bold hop aroma. The Hippie starts at 1.068 and is 80 IBU’s.

<i>22oz bottle in Columbus, Ohio.</i> Cloudy amber brown with a thick cream head; aroma of oranges and caramel malts; sharply bitter hop flavours make the mouth tingle. Under the hops there are sweet citrus flavours. A very drinkable IPA let down by the appearance.

Pretty nice and solid IPA. Nice floral aroma and a nice blaance of hops. Good flavor of flowers and also metallic hops in here. Copper bite on the backend. Very creamy and rich texture. Strong grass and lemon flavor in here as well. Good malt backbone, that never takes center stage. Slight notes of bread. Very good for a stanrd IPA.

22oz bottle from crizay. Good floral aroma. Orange body with off white head. Good juicy citrus flavor with a malt backbone that took away the crispness of an ipa. Good beer thanks Chris.

Poured a nice golden color with thin white head. Aroma was hoppy with a hint of grass and citrus. I also smelt pachuli oil, but it may have been the dirty hippie standing next to me. The taste, conidering the name, was very balanced. It had the bitter bite you would expect from any IPA, but it went down really smooth. This is a great choice for an everyday IPA.

Alefest sample. Great citrus hops aroma with a nice bitter flavor balanced lightly with malt. Pretty solid in my opinion and easy to drink, but could definitely be improved upon if they made the effort.
