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

Pint at Sixth St Bistro in Hood River - Aroma has tons of crystal malts, caramel and resinous hops. Flavor matches with a bit more citrus hops. Palate is sticky and tart. Pretty tasty session beer.

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.

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.

Poured from a growler. Hazy reddish/orange color with an off-white head. Nice dry hop aroma. Tasty hop bite with a good malty finish. Good stuff.

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.

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...

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.

4 oz pour at the Oregon Brewers Festival in July ’09. Nice and smooth with a bite. Good India red but not overly hoppy.
