Iron Hill Ironbound Ale

Brewed by Iron Hill Newark
Style: American Pale Ale
Newark, Delaware USA

a very good American Pale ale. Strong hop flavor which gave for an exciting taste. Really intense on the palate. Definitely on of the top beers on tap at this location.

On tap at Iron Hill Lancaster. Rich brown pour, off white head and some good lacing. Smell of hops and taste of it to. Pale and hopi with a dry finish. A little over the top with hops for my taste.

dark ruby with a thin copper head. nose of pine and flowery hops. thin malt backbone with an abundance of hops in the flavor. finishes dry and nicely balanced.

My Bottom Line:
This solid American Pale Ale’s citrusy and earthy hop ramifications are grounded in a sturdy caramel malt base, leading to a prolonged earthy, resinous hop bitterness.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam covers the dark amber.
-This was more drinkable and as flavorful as their Scrooge IPA.
-Most Iron Hill beers are exceptionally well malted, I find.
-Balance is achieved throughout and the proud flavor profile is quite transparent.

On tap at the Wilmington brewpub.

Cask at W Chester. Must bs the bottom of the cask because this stuff is pretty uninspiring. All of the flavors are muted, unfortunately. Dry mouthfeel.

Cask version in Phoenixville: This one poured a clear amber color with a big, thick off-white head. It leaves a lot of lacing. There was a bit of grapefruit to the nose, as well as a bit of spice. It is served at the proper temperature for a cask. The taste was medium bitter, with a bit of the grapefruit coming through. Decent body. Nice.

Piney, citrusy aroma, with molasses and alittle spiciness. Pours dark amber. Hops! Pine resin, some citrus, molasses, allspice, smooth with great flavor.

Very nice hoppy ale. Pours dark amber color and nice full head. Smells very hoppy. Balanced with bitterness and malt very well. Finishes clean and with pleasant finish.
