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.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with OhioDad (thanks!). Poured a dark and hazy amber color with an averaged sized tan head. Aromas of juicy oranges, grapefruit and light caramel. Tastes of grapefruits (stronger in the taste than the smell), oranges, caramel, and some pine. Medium bitter with a light sweetness to it.

Bottle... Hazy orange ale with a mid-sized, frothy, white head. Tropical and citrus fruit nose with lots of floral, perfumey, Mandarin orange notes. The flavor is also perfumey... and violently bitter. Train wreck of hops. Medium-bodied and astringent as hell with lively carbonation. Lengthy, tannic, harshly bitter finish. boboski was responsible for this one... lol... thanks dude!

Clear copper with a pleasant lacing white head. Damp musty hop aroma with a fresh floral hoppy and caramel malt flavor. Tastes a lot like an English IPA with a dry woody finish and a smooth silky body. A good IPA.
