Commercial Description:
Editor's Note: Formerly Woodstock IPA, now known as Oak-Aged IPA.

Woodstock IPA is an authentic wood-conditioned India Pale Ale with the distinctive flavor of the British Empire’s original. Traditional IPAs were distinguished by rich hops, which were generously added to preserve the beer during its long overseas voyage between England and India. They were also characterized by striking oak flavor, as the beer made its journey in wooden barrels. Woodstock IPA matures in oak and is dry-hopped during the aging process to bring you the classic style.
Specs: Original Gravity 15.5, Specific Gravity 1062, Hop Bitterness 45 IBU

Bottle. Amber color with a big off-white head. Not much aroma, but there’s a slight hopiness to it. Just needs more for an IPA. A little grapefruit and tar with some caramel backing, but it seems like it’s trying to move from the kiddie table to the adult table. Not very bitter.

bottled: strange that its called woodstock when it doesnt say that on the bottle anywhere. drank this one side by side with macs pale ale, which was nice this one has the smaller nose with quite of bit of bittering hops added to the boil. where the pale is the opposite. a nice IPA crisp and clean...cool elephant on the label.

Fuzzy, copper color. Buttercream, thick, long-lasting head. Aroma is light/soft: fruity hops, cherries, watermelons, fresh pineapples, all very subdued most likely from the aging. Thin to medium mouthfeel consistency. Pineapple, cherries, all sweet up front falling to a bitter, metallic finish that is also watery. Ending could be a lot better, still not a bad shot of hops from this one. No oak is really apparent.

Amber in color with a large off white head. Light citris aroma with woody smells. No bitter tastes at all. A little sour after taste. Not a typical IPA and not in a good way.

Talk about bringing a knife to a gun fight. A thin, slightly woodsy, decidedly fey beer, which is not a good adjective to bring to an IPA. Has no business along side other west coast examples of its breed. That said, it is not a terrible beer, but it is one that hints at real character without delivering.

The oak was slight, but the spicy hop and citrus flavor came through more. A good, solid IPA that makes a great thirst quencher in the summer heat.

Doesn’t give me a woody. Sucking on an oak chip doesn’t really do it for me. Was hesitant in buying this and now I think I was right. Not terrible, but I do tend to appreciate an IPA that’s more agressively hopped. Not a BAD beer. Would throw into the Pale category and still think it was just okay.
