Commercial Description:
India pale ale was traditionally believed to sustain the ocean voyage to British Colonial India. Higher hop rates and proof bolstered the shelf life as well as the flavor.

On tap. Pours a hazy golden pour with a white head. Light citrus aroma that was there through the mix of food aromas. Flavor is pretty solid with a light fruitiness that is followed by a decent bitter finish. Carbonation is solid but it is just a tad lacking in body. My favorite at this place. Nice to have a local made IPA in a resturant.

Slightly cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is big on the bready, toasty notes, with just a whiff of hops. Its definately a maltier version of the style, with a lot of toasty, bready flavors on top of a subtle, herbal hop note.

Draft at Crown & Goose. Poured clear copper color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and flat carbonation. Medium bitter flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable brew.

Thanks to lithy for supplying this one for the IPA tasting. Pours copper with a white head. Smells of earth, tea, some citrus. Tastes earthy and bitter with a mild bitter finish. Decent, but a bit subdued for an IPA.

Draught at Crown & Goose. Pours hazy gold with soapy white head. The aroma is cotton candy, mild toffee, earthy hops, and maybe a little bit of fruit. The flavor is reasonably bitter, with an emphasis on spicy noble hops. There is a little bit of an American-style grapefruit tone in there (maybe some Cascades made it into the mix?). The malts are reminiscent of honey on slightly burnt biscuits. Finish is a little bit dryish. Not bad.

Draught. Pours a hazy gold with a white head. The aroma is bright and citrusy enough, but with definite musty malty quality. Yeah, this is a British leaning IPA with plenty of woody bitterness and a bit of toffee but I get a hint of grapefruit and caramelly sweetness to bring it back to the American side a bit. This is pretty fair. It’s not overly bitter but certainly clean and balanced.

Pours a medium gold int he body with a medium white head. Faint hop aroma, supportive sweet malt underneath. Well done for an English IPA, but I’d like to get more earthy hop flavor than this one had. Overall, nice and dry, not overly hopped. The site here doesn’t differentiate between the British and American style of IPA so this will probably fall to the lower percentiles in comparison. Cleanly brewed, well crafted.
