Commercial Description:
Bent Nail I.P.A. is a tribute to the hard-working contractors who make their living in Red Lodge. The I.P.A is high in alcohol and hop flavor. We use copious amounts of American cascade hops to give the IPA intense grapefruit and citrus aroma and flavor. Bronze medal winner – 2007 Great American Beer Festival.

Very smooth IPA. No kick or real measurable bitterness. Since that is what I look for it wasn’t my favorite.

A decent IPA. Not quite a NW IPA, but pretty darn close. I’d call it a 50/50 mixture of British and NW IPA. Good beer.

Solid effort from Red Lodge. On par with Dale’s Pale Ale? No, but better than the rating. Fault is the residual bitterness, but aroma and up front taste is quite good.

Resinous grapefruit with a bit of a pungent, cattiness and pine. Color is dark copper with a thin-white head. Flavors similar to aroma, sweet with a good amount of hop flavor manifested as pine and a bit of citrus fruit of some sort. Flavor is hop-forward, but there is a lot of sweet caramel malt with some toasted bread. I like that the body isn’t too full,.. it’s a little thin but I think that’s a good thing in this beer. It’s flavorful but drinkable.

Wonderful aroma, but body and bitterness on the thin side. Woohoo! for Montana having a beer brewed in the state.

From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 12/10/2007 Hoppy and fruit aromas. Golden coloured strong in alcohol and hoppy with a crisp and bitter lasting finish.

this is a combined rating. this beer was availible both on regular draft an nitro tap the summer of 2007. the nitro was boring, but as it hid much of the hop character made ipa accessible to hop haters. the regular draft was a solid brewpub ipa. reminded me of a bigger version of snpa. i even went home with a growler of it.
