Commercial Description:
Our India Pale Ale is brewed with an aggressive hop profile derived from Amarillo and Simcoe hops. A blend of Crystal malts creates the backbone which supports the hop character without diminishing it.<br /> Formerly JW Dundee’s India Pale Ale<br /> 60 IBU

This is like a beginner’s introduction to IPA here-everhing is muted: aroma, flavor, palate. The balance isn’t bad, it just could stand to be a lot more assertive and full bodied than this. Very weak for a hophead like me.

Pours an amber color with a small white head. Aroma of floral hops. Taste of hops without much depth. Not the best IPA out there.

Bottle. Light amber to medium orange pour - faint white head. Floral/ sprucey aroma, clean, but faint. Fresh mildly bitter citusy flavor. Some citrus accents and a hint of caramel as well. Mouthfeel is solid - pleasantly surpised

Bottle. Clear orange amber pour with a tall sticky off-white head. Aroma is malty at first with grapefruit, soft pine and orange peel coming through shortly thereafter. Taste is up front with its hop ambitions and hit with more grapefruit, light pine and some citrus peel but is really kind of tame for an IPA. The back is rather chewy here with some softer caramel notes. Body is light and slick with creamy carbonation. Dry towards the end. Light bitterness. Finishes with more chewy malts, light caramel, grapefruit, and light pine. Nice session style IPA.

Bottle from BevMo. Clear medium amber in color. Moderate hop bitterness in the nose. Bitter citric flavor. Not overly bitter, but an easy sipping IPA. 3.2

&#40;Bottle, part of a Dundee "Craft Pack", from Lou’s Beverage Barn&#41; Pours clear bronze-amber with a couple of fingers of off-white head. Head recedes to kind of a globby thin layer. Aroma of some vanilla and caramel but really no hoppiness. Mouthfeel lightly pebbly but still fairly smooth. Lots of light foamy rings and sheets of lacing. Flavor hits with some bitterness upfront which follows through to finish. Bitterness overlays some very light sweetish fruity and flowery taste and muddled vanilla and caramel maltiness underneath. Light bitterish aftertaste. Quite pedestrian as an IPA but still a pretty decent beer.
