Commercial Description:
Our IPA has an Intense hop aroma and strong malt body, followed by a smooth clean finish. Pacific Northwest malted barley with hops from the fields of Yakima have come together to create this IPA that is very hoppy but very balanced with complex malt flavors. The IPA is best served cool, not ice cold so as not to subdue the hop aroma. The perfect beer for any day.

POurs orange. Nose is caramel and citrus and pine hops. Flavor is mild hop sweetness, bitter resiny hops, grapefruit and some pepper. Pretty decent IPA.

12oz - Aroma is funky grapefruit and mango hops with just enough malt to keep it honest. Flavor matches. Palate is creamy and tart. A nice fruity IPA.

A pleasant IPA. It has the appearance of a lager. The flavor is both sweet and hoppy.

Light orange, slight head. Slight citric aroma. Flavor is very light caramel malt, some grapefruit hops, and a massive, almost aspirin level, hop bitterness. Bitterness detracts from what would have been a decent brew.

12 ounce bottle shared by jcwattsrugger. Thanks John! Pours a clear bronze color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is caramel and toffee with floral and citrus hop notes. Very, VERY bitter hop taste with minty, citrus and resiny hop notes and some leafiness and as well as a fairly strong toffee malt backbone. Medium bodied.

12 oz bottle. I just tried this beer after drinking an Alaskan IPA. I noticed the difference between the two in the balance between malt and hops. I love my IPAs hoppy, not malty. Alaskan’s version is much more hoppy with little malt presence. Laughing Dog is much more malty. As a hop lover, it gets a lower score in my book. Still a great beer and as an Idahoan, I’m proud to say this was brewed practically in my backyard.

Clear orange brown pour with a thin white head. Not much on the nose. Some bitter hops and a touch of malt. Bitter hop flavor. Watery with not much else going on. Drinkable.
