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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
