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 @ Brewery: Caramel color, light head and lacing. Nose of dusty simcoe and pine, a more resinously light bitter body and a creamy chewy tail than I expected. Lots of dry caramel flavor, good and rustic.

On tap at the BP. Medium amber with a trace white head. Mild malt an hop aroma. Pale aleish. Less hop flavoe than the pale but similar malt body. Medium lite body and in generaal milder and veey drinkable comapred to the pale.

Draft at the 3 Rivers Restaurant in Hood River - Poured a beautiful ruby red in color with a bright white head. Aroma was of caramel and brown sugar with a nice mix of piney hops. Flavor was of roasty malts and caramel and quite strong of resinous pine hops. Finish is long and bitter. Very good IRA...

Draft at Nora’s Fish House in Hood River, OR. At first, I thought this was a misprint on the menu, listed as Double Mountain IRA. The waiter was knowledgeable about beer, and explained it, as well as recommended it as one of his favorites. I was favorable impressed. The deep coppery amber body resided under a creamy light beige head. Aroma was a fresh piney hop and brown sugar combination, with the hops being front and center. Very smooth with a richness and certain chewiness was also notable. Well balanced, and a nice spicy bitterness in the finish was also spot on.

Hazy amber colour. Slightly spicy caramel and brown sugar nose with a hint of hop herbaceousness. Very quaffable - heck, slightly watery - with a balanced Simcoe-toast-caramel character. Somehow I wish for more in this brew but that’s not to say I don’t like what’s there.

First beer I ever tried from this brewery and what a delight. Poured an orange-red hue. deep and fruity. Subtle Rochefort yeast surprised me. Nothing like any Belgian I’ve had before. Bitter and bad ass!

2007 - North American Organic Brewers Festival – Portland, Oregon
Great new brewery in Hood River Oregon. This was my first beer from here. The IRA was a great India Red Ale. Has a very nice deep reddish color with a Belgian twist in the flavors. This IPA was actually with a fruity flavor. Deep hop flavors and a light fruitiness this was a great beer. Finishes dry with a strong flavor. Loved this beer. Great stuff can’t wait to try more from this place.

Draft: This beer pours a hazy deep red/orange with a very thin white head. Aroma is of malt and some hops and a tiny bit of fruit. Flavor is richly malty and has a decent bitterness. Not quite IPA bitterness though. Subtle fruit esters. A strong hoppy grapefruit finish. The citrusy hops dance on your tongue as it goes down. Pretty excellent first beer.
