Middle Ages ImPaled Ale

Brewed by Middle Ages Brewing
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Syracuse, New York USA

Clear copper with a thick and foamy one inch head. Fruity toffee and hoppy aromas. Not over hopped, but comes with a nice bitter finish. Sweet notes all throughout the beer. Overall well-balanced, with a nice mouthfeel.

Bottle version. Big toffee aroma with a bit of fruitiness also shows a bit of peatiness. Missing any floral notes. Pours a deep copper with a thick sticky beige head. Medium bodied with a tight quick carbonation. Long aggressive bitter finish that comes across as somewhat aggressive. Malt character is there coming across in the middle of the swallow with a light sweetness but it is eventually overwhelmed with the intrusive bittering hop finish. Aroma hops take a back seat and the beer does not really showcase its Cascade heritage.

I also had this one at the Blue Tusk. I am not usually a fan of english style ales but this one was very solid. Good hops up front which flowed into a very mellow but not that usual semi skunky british vibe. Very nice session beer, could probably enjoy 1 or 2 in a sitting before having to move on.

Bottle from the mixed pack. Aroma is of hops. taste is of grass and hops the with a crisp finish. Decent IPA
