Fiddlers Green India Pale Ale

Brewed by Matt Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Utica, New York USA

this beer is somewhat unique to me. it has a nice moderate hop taste and then that prolonged german type hop bitterness that is tingly on the tongue. there is the anticipated grapefruit tang that has been made more refreshing with a malt profile that is backed off making it more fruity but not citrusy. this malt profile is all there but so clean and without a trace of the usual straw, hay, burnt grass, ect. ect. it is clean flavorful well made and refreshing with a good lingering aftertaste that is welcomed. all this and a touch creamy as if from the cask!

Pleasantly light amber colored beer with hoppy nose and sweet bitter bite. Pretty enjoyable and sessionable IPA. Finished a little dull, but all around a good purchase.

Bottle from Total Wine. Pours a light amber and a small head with a frothy rim. Loose cascades of lace. The nose includes big flowery hop expressions. The tongue receives more piney hops, herbal earth, and a hint of orange zest. Well-balanced carbonation and full bodied. I feel isolated with my ratings today, as I thought this IPA was great when others don’t, and felt Trappistes Rochefort #10 was highly overrated when others rave about it. Just goes to show...taste is all a matter of individual perspective.

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.

Clear golden amber body with a medium rocky tan head. Sweet citrus hops aroma with some caramel. Sweet caramel flavor with some citrus hops.

overall, not bad. Pours and looks beautiful golden with a nice creamy head. The aroma leaves a lot to be desired, because I can only smell soap. The taste is very light for an IPA, average finish. Nothing offensive about this beer, really...everything is done on the light side.

Rather impressed with this IPA i thought it had a well rounded experience without any sharp notes. The appearance was clear and resembled a light copper color.Citrus and light grass notes were my first impressions from the aroma. I thought it finished a bit dry and left my mouth lingering with a hoppy taste. Overall I enjoyed this beer and would be willing to try again.

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.
