Commercial Description:
A dry, refreshing IPA with agressive hop character. This beer is certainly a cousin of Prescription Pale but is straw-colored, lighter bodied, and has a decidedly English hop bill. Challenger, Northdown, Fuggles and Goldings are all used although a noticable addition of Cascades keeps this ale anchored in the U.S. style. With five hop varieties and five additions this IPA has the most complex hop character of any of our beers. Pale malt comprises most of the grist but some light crystal malt and a bit of malted wheat (for taste, body and head retention) round out this beer nicely. 60BUs

Only had a brief chance to try this on vacation, but it was sensational. As the ’commercial description’ suggests this is an Englsih style beer with its own US character. The brewer’s craft shines through.

On Cask @ the brewery. Orange/ copper apperance, almost still. Aromas of oranges, grapefruit and pine. Clean malty flavor with a good hoppy bitterness.

Classic dark orange IPA color, weak aroma of citrus hops. Taste is of stronger citrus and pine hops with a decent malt backbone. Oily mouthfeel, slightly bitter finish.

Cask conditioned at the restaurant. Pale gold. Not as much carbonation in the body as expected. Lovely citrus hops aroma and flavor.
