Pangaea Liljas Argosy IPA

Brewed by Sand Creek Brewing Co. (Pioneer/Wisconsin Brewing Co.)
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Black River Falls, Wisconsin USA

12 oz bottle from the Woodmans on Gammon Road in Madison, WI (August 2006) consumed at cellar temperature from a Corsendonk glass. Dark amber-gold with a thin off-white quick-fading head and a trace of lacing....apricot, caramel and blood orange well-mixed in the nose, with warmth whiffs of anise and cherry wood arise....mellow, very well-balanced on the tongue, acidic fruits and bready light sour malts, a pleasant understated resinous character, only lightly bitter at the front ranging to strongly so at the finish...faint metallic hints compromise things somewhat, but overall this is quite solid.

12oz bottle. Unfiltered looking brown-orange color. Minimal head. Light, unassertive toasty lemon aroma. Medium bodied, a little thin. Some pleasant dry bitterness, certainly not syrupy and thick like so many other IPAs. Fruity finish, some lemon and other citrus nuances. Ok, session beer, not so far off from an APA.

Bottle . A hazy golden orange color with a thin soapy off white head, slight lacing ,medium carbonation. Aroma of musty malt grain,citrus,caramel and yeasty fruit notes. Flavor was better than expected , caramel malt,mild citrus and a bitter floral hop profile. Nice full muthfeel , medium body, nice bitterness,slightly dry,long bitter finish. This was pretty good and drinkable

orange amber color. Smell of hops, malt, orange peals, and slight grass/pine. Taste of malt, light citrus, malt, orange zest, hops, honey, appricots and another fruit that I know but cant think of what it is. Nice bitterness at the end. Good IPA.

[1607-20080816] 12floz bottle. Sweet maple yeast and wet grains aroma. Slightly hazy, light brown orange body with a big long-lasting foamy off-white head. Hoppy sweet malty maple flavour. Medium body. Fair.

Thanks to Skyview for sharing. Golden color with no head. Malty nose with faint hints of hops. Slightly bitter malt body.

Amber to light copper colored liquid. Taller, bleached bone colored head. Some small fine lace. A fruity granola bar sort-of aroma. Grains of oats and toasted malt mix with some peaches, grapefruit zest. Lots of sweet toasted grain in the front, with a mild balance of un-ripe fruit bitterness. A odd sort of mix with raspberries, rhubarb, grapefruit pith and burnt grain. Quite dry and bitter inthe finish. Interesting and somewhat traditional, but the bitterness in the linger is really getting to me.

Pours with a faint haze to an orangish body under a small, white head. Aroma of lemons and oranges with breadcrusts and light pepper... fairly weak in the hop department and my first guess is that this is one of them there "English-style" IPAs. Dry palate, well-suited to the bitterness which follows, grapefruit and pepper with a balance of caramel and a bit of the biscuity malt I half-expected. Once you’re invested, this could be drinkable in mass quantities.
