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.

Fine looking hazy orange - copper bear with a proper head. Flavor is balanced, but it could use a little more body. A good, but not outstanding IPA.

Poured a clean orange color with a large, bubbly, off-white head and some lacing. Citrus hop aroma with some mint as well. Taste was bitter grapefruit hops, and a long oak aftertaste. Soft round mouthfeel. This is certainly different than other IPA's I have had. Thanks jgb9348 for hooking me up with this bottle!

This one poured a hazy orange-gold color with a nice white head. Has a nice and pleasant hop aroma that has notes of citrus fruit mainly pineapple and grapefruit. Body is a tad thin but smooth none the less. Flavor is very good with a good dose of hops providing a sweetness and a good amount of malt to balance it all out. Overall this is a fine IPA in my opinion and one worth trying. I'm surprised this doesn't have a higher rating. Thanks to Sham for another decent IPA to try.

Medium amber, OK head, bright. Aroma overwhelmingly of boiled grapefruit. Sweet, cooked grapefruit pervades the flavor as well, with a bit of earthy bite at the very end. Overall a bit on the syrupy side, with some vegetal tones as well. I don't think the oak did this beer any favors.

Light orange color with a good-sized small bubbled head. Woody earthy aroma with some pepper, sharp mouthfeel, slightly bitter ending, full bodied with a light carbonation.
