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

A light to medium bodied IPA with a brown color and a very lightly tan frothy head. A nice aroma of hops and earthiness. The flavor has some nice bitterness and hops with a nip of malts as well as a nice earthy (woody) taste. Very nice IPA.

Big time hop aroma,nice head didn't last long though but ok.flavor was hoppy as hell but very smooth not harsh bite in the taste or aftertaste just very smooth the first IPA that didn't make me cringe from the hop overdose and the only IPA that i would recommend drinking more then 1 but could easily have 5,6 or 7 with no ill effects from the hopping.Very well done.

The aroma is sweet and of citris, and hops. The appearance is a clear light copper, with a very thin head. The flavor is initially bitter, with notes of citris and a bit of a orange peel aftertaste. The beer is smoothe and easy to drink. Overall very nice.

I quite enjoyed this IPa. Amber bodied with a cream fluff head, it had notes of grapefruit around the floral hop aroma with a possible woodiness (oak) and unripe hop edge distinguishable as well. The body had a nicely rounded alchol-hop balaance with a pleasant integration of oaky(?) dryness and full bodied grape fruity tones.

Well, I know why it is called Woodstock IPA; it kind of smells like sweaty hippies eating candy. This doesn't really taste like an IPA; it tastes more like a weak barley wine (it kind of looks like one, too). It has a good amount of maltiness, with sweet fruit and roasted nut flavors. There really aren't any hops to speak of, but it is awfully tasty, so I think I can overlook that for this rating. Try the beer, but try to forget the fact that it is supposed to be an IPA, because it most certainly is not.

Smells like apples. Actually, this tastes much more like a fruit beer than an IPA. Good fruit beer, bad IPA. I would give it much higher ratings if it wasn't trying to pass off as an IPA. Not much hoppiness, despite the commercial desccription above. Cloudy, murky appearance with a slight head. Decent mouthfeel

wow, a deep amber color, rather uncharacteristic of the average! Piney at first, then a citrucy/acidic aroma hits you pretty solidly, obviously its pretty well hopped. Tastes mellow&oakey, like a fine burbon maybe? An interesting beer.

Fairly amber color for an IPA. Creamy, mostly diminishing head. Slightly off-white head. Niice hoppy aroma. The cascades come through well in the flavor. But behind the hops is a metallic flavor that fades into vanilla. Kind of a weird combination on the tongue.
