Fiddlers Green India Pale Ale

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy fine to large sized off-white colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a transparent typically carbonated golden brown colored body and a very good lacing. The mild aroma was hoppy and floral. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of cascade hops and mild caramel. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

Bottle from Total Wine & More (Ft. Myers, FL).Small ivory head with poor retention span, transparent body, fast rising carbonation, fair amount of lacing, and an orange copper hue. The aroma was floral, earthy, malty, and hops. The flavor was bitter, hoppy, some caramel, citrus, and malty. Tingly mouthfeel and a medium bodied IPA. An easy to drink IPA because this is not very hoppy given the style. It lacks hoppiness IMO.

A fairly decent flowery aroma, and a nice hop flavor to it, but there just was not very much going on here. I would say it is an average IPA.

Pours a transparent copper orange with a well-lacing froth of off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty pale malts and some earthy grapefruity hops. Body starts with decent fullness and some mild sweet caramel maltiness balanced with a drier, musty hop presence before a bittersweet finish. An ok IPA, but could use a more assertive and crisp hop profile.

Pours copper wit a white head. Smells grassy and peppery. Tastes peppery nd resiny with a finish that yields some wildflowers.

sweet floral hop aroma. taste was sweet hops, citrus peel and cereal like malts. very light ipa, not bad and not amazing.

Pours a clear orange copper with a medium oft white head. Aroma of honey lemon tea, tangy citrus and hops. Taste of honey lemon tea, tangy citrus hops and light pine.
