Commercial Description:
Just in time for the “big” weather is the “big” bottle of Gritty’s new 21 IPA. Gritty’s “21 IPA” is a unique blend of American hops with a British body utilizing English 2-Row Pale malts. This IPA starts out with a hoppy aroma and taste; ending with a sweet finish. Plenty of Munich and caramalts are used to give the beer that golden hue. There are fifty-six pounds of Cascade Hops used in each 50 barrel batch that is brewed! Then we finish the beer with Willamette & Warrior Hops, (Warrior is a high-alpha acid variety of hops) All this leads to an IPA that is worthy to celebrate our 21st Anniversary! Gravity: 1069, ABV: 6.8% IBU’s: 60.

Caramel malts and loads of delicious toastiness in the mouth with a good, whole mouth dryness too. Fruity too. Very dry with plenty going on.

On tap in Maine. Balanced aroma and flavor of juicy hops, some citrus hops and caramel malts. Nice body and good fluffy white head. Flavor has a hint of pine some more juicy citrus hops and toasted malts. Fresh off the draft, pretty solid but had a slight lingering bitterness.

A Mes rate. Gravicask at GBBF.
Looks like an American IPA, drinks more like a bitter but with a little more alcohol and a decent bitter finsh. Honestly, that’s all I wrote.

Cask at GBBF. Amber with a lasting off-white head. Big biscuit malt aroma with fruit and citrus. Dry and malty flavour with weak hop flavour but good bitterness.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark mahagony with light brown head; plenty of head. Not the aroma I was expecting for an ipa, this one is clearly quite malty. Caramel prominent and sweet corn. Taste reveals a balanced blend of caramel malts and hops. I actually find this beer quite pleasent, but it’s not an ipa.
