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.

Bottled. Amber colour, creamy head. Restrained grapefruit aroma. Sweet, lightly woody and with a fair amount of cookie malt. Hop aromatic finish. Well balanced in all aspects.

Slightly hazy amber colour. Dusty, sweaty hop notes with a background of subtle wood. Toasty, dusty, woody flavour. Mild bitterness. Even-handed flavour. Hints of vanilla and herbs (sage, mint) round off an indistinct maltiness. Fairly sweet interpretation but with some unique flavours.

Beautiful copper color. Very nice hoppy aroma, resinous, caramel. Medium body, dry caramel, correct hopping, not enough malt, some metallic touch. Not impressive hopping.

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.

Crystal clear, beautiful, amber-colored brew with a small creamy, off-white head. The aroma is of grapefruit, light bourbon and oak. Nicely-balanced. A little thin; nothing really distinctive in the flavor, except for a late appearance of some moderately bitter hops. Light-bodied with a thin, oily mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. The finish is lengthy, bitter and dry. Leaves a lingering, bitter and oily coating on the tongue.

Bottle. Some oak in there, quite dry and citric, not lovely or anything, fairly dull, but tasty enough, pretty hoppy i suppose. it was OK.
