Commercial Description:
Fish Tale IPA is a medium bodied ale with a bright golden color and robust strength. While Pale, Carastan, and Munich malts lend a gentle sweetness and balance to the background palate, this ale is dedicated to complex hop flavor.

Fresh hop aroma and flavor. Gold in a appearance. Not much to say, a nice IPA.

Bottle. Good flavor with slight hops with aroma of light malt and caramel. Pours a dark orange/light amber. Not much of a head on this one. A pleasant drink but nothing that sticks with you. Fair IPA.

On tap at PP Carlsbad. Orange pour, white head. Citrus, malt, light fruit, and a bit of caramel. Easy drinking and not very interesting.

Bottle with thanks to coyotehunter. Pours a burnt amber with a little bit of a head and weak aromas of caramel and light fruity citrus. Flavor is overly malty for the style... especially for a West Coast example. Start is all caramel and then grapefruit and fruit start to take over. Still, the hops blast isn’t very convincing. Nothing offensive about it, but nothing to compelling either.

This is a very good, solid West Coast IPA, flavourful and hoppy in character, yet balanced. Slightly hazy amber, it has a medium head, off-white, that steadily shrinks to a wispy top and ring. It has a little thin lace. The aroma is grpafeuity with candied citrus, grain, caramel hint, raisiny alcohol. The taste is grapefuity at first, but this is restrained and lemon zest, green laves and a sweetness of caramelly raisin and candied citrus backs it up. The bitterness, predominasntly cirusy, just dominates the sweetness and the zesy character lingers nicely. The feel is firm and both it and the character hold up.

This one poured a hazy orange color with an off white head. Aroma was of lighter citrus hops and some malty sweetness. Flavor was a bit sweet, but not overwhelming, with refreshing hop character. Nothing too harsh but refreshing.

Bottle thanks to Ditmier. Pours a semi dark amber with a light head. Not a strong aroma but its not bad...Citrusy and a bit malty. Taste is pretty decent..again with the citrus and malt. Has a peculiar burn in the finish, fairly light and crisp palate. Not bad at all
