Commercial Description:
Grays IPA an assertive hop flavor that balances itself very nicely with a malty background. A very fine example of what an IPA was meant to be. Hop lovers come one come all for this one !

(12oz bottle, thanks Barry) Small beige head topping a lightly hazed amber body. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel, floral, light pine, orange. Taste is medium sweet, pine, caramel, some grapefruit, lemon. Light-medium body with light resin. No one will mistake this for a West Coast IPA -- while I agree with others that this seems more an APA than an IPA, the bitterness does pick up a notch once the beer warms.

Poured a darker copper color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of light grapefruits and flowers. Tastes of grapefruits, flowers and light caramel. Thinner body. Tastes and aromas on the weaker side. Lacing left on the glass.

Bright amber color with a light cream head. Orange peel and floral aromas. Light malt sweetness with a sharp bitter hops finish. A little lighter in body than I prefer for this style.

Copper color, creamy head, nice lacing. The aroma is very toasty with balanced hops; like bread! The flavor is medicinal & tangy, light bitterness & buttery malts. Finishes balanced, kinda boring actually.

Bottle. Copper pour with resiny hoppy, malty, and tropical fruity citric aroma. Medium palate, with some hops an caramel bready malt notes, and a piney, tangeriney finish.

12 oz bottle purchased at the Woodmans in Beloit WI. Served between cellar & fridge temps from a 12 oz Michelob glass, Michelob baby! Pours a light clear copper, moderate fizzy off-white head, quick-dissipating, with a touch of fine lacing...mildy piney hoppy nose, touch of lemon, some wood, and some dry biscuity malt...body moderately sweet, quite malty, full, with hops moderate to strong only at midpalate one...barely present at the front, and not really all that bitter at the finish, though a nice dusty dry acidity does settle in late...very quaffable, nothing spectacular and closer I think to an APA, it’s a solid middle-of-the-road effort.

Bottle: Surprisingly deep amber ghue with lasting frothy head and very good lace. The aroma has notes of piney and floral hops, grapefruit and apple, caramel and pale malts, and earthy yeast esters. The taste starts malty and a been bready. The hops are there but subdued more than I would have wanted. The finihs is chalky and dry, with just a bit of bitterness. The taste and feel is a let down. Akin to the British style than the American.

On draught at the Tied House in Verona, Wisconsin. Pours a clear amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that dissipates nearly clean. Aroma of caramel malt, some citrus zest, a touch of pine and dry earth herbs. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of mild caramel malt, a touch of citrus zest and lemon. Finish is semi-dry with a hint of citrus and some light bread malt. This beer is more close to an American Pale Ale than an IPA.
