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

Tap... Poured reddish/copper with an off-white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of floral hops. Lots of carbonation and a lot of fresh hop flavors. Somewhat soapy but wasn’t too terrible. Some caramel sweetness which was followed by balancing malt.

On tap at Crowbar in Portland over OBF. Light sweetness with solid hop flavor matched with light caramel malts. Nice take on a darker IPA.

On tap this pours a darker orange, lighter then I had expected. Citrus hop nose, floral and a touch more malty then your typical ipa. Warmer caramel flavors up front, struck a nice balance between the melted caramel flavors and the citrus hops.

Copper red pour with a decent head and nice lacing. Aromas of floral and peppery hops followed with toffee and a little pale malt sweetness. Nice bitterness PNW hops is followed by a light toffee sweetness. Hops linger for a long time leaving a dry mouth feel. The finish is floral and grapefruit rinds. Good.

Nice full aroma beer. Light golden in color. Got it on tap at Henry’s. Good summer type IPA. Fruity and refreshing. Not a heavy beer.

Draft at the brewpub. An unclear amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with hoppy notes of grass and light notes of flowers. The flavor is sweet malty with floral hoppy notes combined with notes of grapefruit.

india red? slippery categories-- cant be "strong" coz of the alcohol. Full-on aroma, floral, resiny, caramel, distant citrus. clear medium brown with quick, lacy head (on draft at mickey finns). clean in the mouth (surprisingly not oily as the resin of the hops would imply) with light carbonation. flavors of pine, caramel, lemon-sugar, old plum. i partiuclarly like the blanace of malt sweet, hop bitter and hop resin.

Yet another rating from the pile of crumpled notes. Pours hazy copper with a lacy white head. Light body and medium carbonation. Fruit and rye aroma, lightly sour rye and hoppy finish.
