Mt. Shasta Mountain High IPA

Brewed by Mt. Shasta Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Weed, California USA

Bottle poured a clear golden amber with a small lingering light amber head. Aromas of carmel, earthiness, pine, grapefruit rind and a hint of orange zest. Palate was light to medium bodied and crisp with a lightly dry finish. Flavors of carmel, biscuit, earthiness, pine and light grapefruit with a crisp dry lingering moderatly bitter finish.

Bottle… Lightly hazed golden ale with a small, bubbly, white head. The nose is of honey, toffee, resin and pine. Full-bodied and velvety with bristly carbonation. Leans only slightly toward the bitter side of balance. Malty and sweet up front, but hopped sufficiently to place it firmly within the genre of PNW IPA. Finishes tannic, tongue-numbing and fairly dry. Thanks go out to giarcsr for sending this bottle my way!

~Pours a cloudy gold/amber color with small head. ~Berry hop scent with mild malts and light grapefruit. ~Woodsy hop flavor with slight berry sweetness, bitter and oaky. ~Medium feel, bitter oak finish. ~Nice IPA. I enjoy the oaky hops.

Not a bad IPA! Had this one fresh at the brewery. Much like Stone IPA, in that its a nice tongue buckling bitter IPA. Full flavored, and strong in hops. Drink this one fresh.

A very nice IPA with hops that last throughout and define the body. More of a piney/resin quality. Not the most bitter or strongest flavor but its getting there.

stinky caramel aroma; cloudy copper body with lasting off-white head; bittersweet flavor - notes of wood, grapefruit, sugar; smooth at first, but eventually wants to be cloying yet doesn’t get there; good brew overall, but nothing different in comparison to the competition.

12oz bottle: appearance is amber brown with slow fading cream color head, aroma is of pale malt with a hint of hops, flavor was pretty clean tasting but needed more hops, this was a very weak IPA.

12oz bottle. When the commercial description says "mild and malty India Pale Ale" that is definitely a red flag. Lightly hazy honey-amber color with a big white head. Malty aroma with floral, piney hops as well. More malt than I am used to smelling in the style. there is also a light buttery quality. Malty in a biscuit or cracker sense, with a bit if piney hop flavor and medium bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied with a creamy feel. Feels like its decently done, but not really what I want in an IPA; not very expressive hops and an odd malty flavor.
