Commercial Description:
The “IRA”, as it’s known around here, marries a ruby red color and rich body with the hop flavors of an IPA. Our unique ale yeast strain adds a delicious layer of complexity. One of the first beers we made, and an enduring favorite. Brewed with Gambrinus Organic Pilsner malt, imported crystal malt, Simcoe and Brewers’ Gold hops. 6.8% ABV, 55 BU

On tap @ Moon & Sixpence. Deep red with a medium white bubbly head. Great aroma of citrus hops and toasted malts. The flavor is tangy malt and citrus hops. I can drink a lot of this beer, it’s very pleasant on the palate and nicely balanced.

Draught. Poured iron ore red with thin white head, much lacing. Slight but pleasant aroma of hop, a little citrus a little pine. Medium hoppy flavour, somewhite like an IPA, but restrained. Thing hop finish. Perhaps it was two cold, perhaps it is me, perhaps this ale was trying to be a pale and an India Pale at the same time.

On tap at the Horse Brass. Gorgeous red pour with a medium white head. Well balanced aroma and flavor with a nice citrus hop profile and a touch more malt than typical in an IPA. Very sweet finish.

On tap at Double Mountain in Hood River. Amberish/red in color. Aroma of citrus, wood/mesquite/earth, with some caramel and something akin to BO. Definitely can taste the simcoe in the flavor. That being said it did have some nice balance to it. Good beer.

A reddish IPA, lots of toasted barley. Malts are weak but help round out the hop. Almost dry hop floral.

My staple at Cassidy’s in Portland after a long night of line cooking. Pours a deep red color with a large puffy white head. Aroma of hops, green apple, and grapefruit. the roasted malts subdue the hop profile slightly which is nice because hops can be loud sometimes. overall a well balanced and great beer.

Draft @ Double Mountain in Hood River. Cloudy rust colored body. Creamy sour and prickly red grapefruit, wood and nuts in the nose and front of the tongue, along with a touch of faintly sweet caramel. Hearty and full and rich. Tangy/spicy/oily/resinous. Wow. Wonderfully explosive resinous hops, amazingly fresh tasting. A masterful beer.

Draft at the taproom. Pours a slightly hazy reddish color with a small off-white head. Has a malty hoppy caramel flavor with grapefruit hints. Sweetish malty hoppy bitter grapefruit flavor. Has a sweetish malty hoppy bitter finish.
