Commercial Description:
At the request of you hopheads, we produced this I.P.A. with a deep golden color, plenty of hop bitterness balanced by malt sweetness. Because of the extensive dry hopping, there’s a floral and citrus hop finish. It’s then lightly filtered to maintain the appropriate body and flavor. The beer features a combination of American, English and German malts to balance the large amount of hops. The HopFish also uses three hop varieties at five different times and has been dry-hopped for two weeks with 22lbs of Nugget whole leaf hops.

Pours a golden amber with a small thin off white head. Smell is of hops some citrus and fresh cut grass. Taste is of pine and hops but you can also taste a malty sweetness that is very pleasing.It all ends with a classic bitterness and a the tickle of carbonation, alcohol not a factor here. I liked this stuff alot. My only problem was a very thin mouthfeel

Bottle. Poured a light amber/gold, clear. Visible carbonation; small white head. Aroma of pine, hops and malt. Taste was much of the same, reminds me of a double IPA. I really enjoyed.

Citrus and pinelike hops don’t quite overshadow the toasted malts in the aroma. Clear, burnished copper coloured body is topped by a fizzy and light white head that recedes rapidly to ring. Herbal and citrus hops are fairly strong over a toasted honey malt base that leaves a lingering sweetness that isn’t quite cleansed by the fairly assertive bitterness. Some fruitiness is apparent in the aftertaste. Dry medium body with hard bubbled carbonation that prickles the tongue. Sampled at Mondial 2006.

Bottle from Jeff (doclock) Thanks. Pours out a bright orange color with no head. Smell is full of hops and sugar and some malts to balance it out. Taste is kind of sweet and hoppy but it works out really nice. Good stuff.

Bonus from Ty5592. Thanks dude. Rather light version of the style, at least as I have gotten used to. Has that weird aroma again that I got from the Town Hall Masala Mama, dont know what it is but its familiar, and unpleasent. This is a crappy review. It probably didnt help you at all. Sorry.

Bottle. Copper color with nice white head. Good camel malt flavor which is not too sweet. Good roasted flavors as well. Mild hop finish. Average IPA

12 oz bottle Poured with a intense carbonation to a thick frothy off white head . Plenty of hop aroma for a regular IPA. Brilliant copper in color. Nice malty flavor for a IPA Some carmel and a hint of roast in there . A lot more than I expected.

GABF 2006: Clear golden copper color with an off-white head. Light notes of citrusy hops laid over caramel malt sweetness. More citrusy hops in the flavor but bigger than the aroma presented. Sweet malt backs it up. Great balance. Nice IPA.
