Commercial Description:
First brewed for the British troops in the 1800's, extra hops and alcohol helped preserve the beer for the long voyage around the Cape of Good Hope. Oregon Trail IPA faithfully adheres to this old brewing tradition. This malty flavored, copperhued India Pale Ale is balanced with generous amounts of Nugget and Centennial hops. A hop-lovers delight.

Tap@Oregon Trail. Tasted a bit stale to me. Tangy bitter US hops, decent i suppose, but it did taste a bit old.

Sampled draught at Old World Deli/Oregon Trail Brewing, Corvallis
Auburn color, nice head & lacing. Nose of floral citrus tones, creamy but resinously bitter. The flavor is bitter & dry, fairly average IPA for the region which means it’s above par as IPAs come, meh.

Draft at the brewery. What I would called an American-British hybrid IPA with a homebrew flavor. Nutty and malty while still a little overhopped - and the hops are more of a bread crust and viney husk flavor than a sweeter citrus flavor. Full to medium bodied with a slightly rough texture - and like I said, a bit of a homebrew funk. They use the same yeast in every brew, so perhaps some experimentation with other strains for the IPA would resolve the problems... although to be honest the problems are very small... this was overall a very tasty IPA.
