Pelican India Pelican Ale

Bottle. Pours a hoppy orange body with white head. Aroma is honey, pine, hop flowers. Flavor is sweet hoppy and pine. decent.

Brewed in Pacific City, Oregon. Combines Cascade, Magnum and Centennial Hops with Pale ale and Caramel malts. Specs: 85 IBU, 7.5% ABV and 17° Plato. Has a very complex aroma that blooms with fresh strawberries followed by light citrusy hop accents and some very faint pine notes. It has a mild carbonation with a rich creamy off white head and orange-amber body. The taste is very much like the aroma on this one, fruity, citrusy, and a powerful hop bite. Has a well balanced finish with a smooth combo of bitter and sweet flavors, although it may be slightly cloying. On the pallet it has a full bodied mouth feel with a somewhat thick aftertaste. All in all a very crafty and complex beer. This one would not make it on my A list of IPA’s (as I am an IPA snob), but nonetheless a solid beer. The fruity sweetness of this beer might compliment a spicy dinner.

Bottle from Hannot. Thanks Todd! Pour is clear copper with a nice, white head. Great initial lacing. Much grassy, spicy hop aroma. Flavor is pretty subtle...nice, citrusy hops and good malt backing. Fairly sweet. Good body and very nice. Good thirst quencher. Better than solid and needs a re-visit for sho!

this one of my favorite oregon beers.crystal amber pour,thin white head..aroma citrusy hop,and pine.this beer does not disappoint.citrus,and pine flavors,give a nw ipa resin flavor,and mouth feel.if you have the chance to enjoy tis beer then do.if you have the chance to,experience this beer on the oregon coast,at the brew pub all the better,the beer,and the scenery will not disappoint

bottle thanks to todd.....pours a crystal clear amber brown with a white head forming around the edges...... subdued aroma of sweet citrusy hops and a little grassiness and pine..... flavors left me wanting for more. citrus hops with a lasting equalizing resiny bitterness that remains on the palate. small malt profile doesn’t add much. carbonation is pretty lively..... not as enjoyable as i would have liked but still pretty good.

Bottle 650ml
Appearance: Hazed amber , medium tanned , creamy head 3+.
Nose : Soft , aromatic nose . Light grainy (gold roast) malting , some earthy-vanilla with fresh hint of fresh hops.
Flavor/Palate : Medium bodied, drier with its slight high carbonation. Noticeable hop bite with warm alcohol side. Smooth finish. Nothing crazy here , simple ale but with rare trait of superb drink ability you will enjoy it couple of bottles in a row and still asking for more.

Rating # 200 for this beer! Pours orange gold with a small head. Aroma is great. Sweet juicy citrus and pine. Ruby red grapefruit, orange, tangerines, some pine, and some sweet caramel malts too. Flavors of grapefruit, sweet orange, and other bitter sweet citrus fruit. Some malts make an appearance, but only lend to the fruity nature of the hops. Bitter sweet citrus hop juice is what this is. Insanely enjoyable. Lots of lingering hops. Perhaps a touch of pepper. The balance in this one is fantastic.

Poured amber color from 22 ounce bottle with minimal bubbly white head. The aroma is really pleasant, resinous, earthy, pine needles. Flavor is mostly the citrus resinous hops. There is just enough malt sweetness to smooth the power of the hop blast in this IPA. Has the crispness I expect in a good IPA. Palate is very nice and a nice lingering bitter citrus alternating with a bit of malt. Overall I have only one complaint. This 22 ouncer was $6.99 US here in Oregon. I can ony hope this summers’ trip to the brewpub will be a better value. I only live about 65 miles from there and the wife wants to go to the beach this year.
