Commercial Description:
Troopers Tipple is a thirst quenching English Style India Pale Ale. You will discover a peppery, earthy aroma from the English hops and a medium malt body supporting a ballanced bitterness mid swallow and a clean, refreshing finish. Unlike many West Coast IPA’s Troopers Tipple has less bitterness (38 IBU’s)but plenty of hop flavor and aroma owing to the generous use of English East Kent Goldings, added in both the boil and as a dry hop addition in the conditioning vessel. Also Troopers Tipple is lighter in color and body than typical local examples and so is less filling, more revitalizing.

Tap @ Pizza Port Solana. Poured clear yellow-gold with a bubbly white head. Moderate lacing. Grassy hops, grainy malt, and biscuits in the nose. Bitter Goldings hit you throughout, giving the beer a clean, peppery bite. Lagery flavors and unripe citrus accompany this, making it sweet towards the back. Tastes like a Bridgeport IPA, but watery.

Tap at SDBC. Golden pour with a nice big head. Light spicy and floral hop aroma. Some grainy malts too. The hops are tart initially with some floral and lingering light citrus and pepper. Light english malt sweetness.

Bomber of the ’’first batch in SD’’ given to me awhile ago from brewer Simon L. Pours a deep rusty amber hue with a malty, biscuty nose and a slightly off white creamy head. The flavor has alot of caramel maltiness, with a creamy texture and a mello hop presence. As it warmed in the glass it began to taste a little sweeter and the hops became a little more pronounced. All and all this was a very nice beer and a perfect example of a true English style IPA with just a touch of West Coast influence. Nice job Simon! Cheers~

On tap at the SD Brewing Company. Color of reddish caramel, creamy milky, off white head. Aroma of light toasted caramel; some grass...pretty light. Flavor of caraml and grass, blended throughout. Noted that it was very English in flavor. Very sessionable. Solid beer.

On-tap at PP SB. Pours hazy golden with a good sized, creamy white head, sheet lace. Smells subdued grassy hoppy with a good backbone of sweet cereal malts. Tastes sweet cereal malty with a bland hop flavor, grassy maybe. Medium body, smooth carbonation.
