Cottonwood Endo India Pale Ale

Brewed by Carolina Beer Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Mooresville, North Carolina USA

12-oz. bottle. Pours clean hazel nut brown with a small foamy tan sticky head and some lined lacing. Citrus rind hop and light caramel malt aroma, heavy grapefruit nose. Medium acdic and bitter hoppy rind flavor with a caramel malt body and some yeast notes near the end. Medium bodied and fizzy, lightly creamy palate.

This was my favorite of the Carolina Beer Co. brews. Absolutely beautiful dark red color--it is almost purplish with gold highlights. Reminded me of the sunset I saw that evening. It smells of sweet hops. The palate is very balanced, yet it bites. Flavors of grapefruit and hops work well together, with a somewhat soapy aftertaste. Very good, tart IPA.

draft at flying saucer in columbia. this was a decent representation of an ipa. more pale ale to me but still they actually added some hopps here through out the boil unlike many of the week regional beers. citrus and floral with a bit of grapefruit in the back alley a good beer. surprised to see it almost has 6% abv.

I love this beer. My 2nd favorite next to Flying Dog’s pale ale - Doggie Style. I have also sampled this one at the brewery in Mooresville, NC - Carolina Beer and Beverage Co. Fun $5 tour on Saturday around noon.

Not a bad IPA, finishes dry, pretty hoppy. Light to medium bodied. You can smell the hops very strongly.

Bottle Pours a clear, nice deep amber with a tall off white head that quicly settles out. Aroma of sweet malts and soft hops. Caramel and butterscotch also. Flavors are an off ensemble of biter woody hops and strange vegetable skins. Very strange. I might be temptd to say that it is unintentional. Metalic and burnt. Grassy bitter aftertaste. I keep looking for a bottled dateonm this thing. Aftraid what I may find.

Light copper colored ale. Light nose that has floral noses and yep a little bit of malts. Tastes are right along the classic IPA style. Nothing too controversial here, and the bitterness is still enjoyable. ’Hell yeah!’, once again, to Cottonwood.

Brown, transparent with an off white head. Malty, molasses aroma, little hop aroma evident. Little thicker mouthfeel than many IPA’s with a pronunced malt character. Some hop flavor, with bitterness coming on in the finish. A nice IPA, although not as dry as many.
