Silver Creek India Pale Ale

On tap at Silver Creek Brewpub. Dark copper with a thin off white head. Aroma of caramel, citrus, dough, earthy hops and a touch of sourness. Taste of caramel, citrus, sugar and mild pine. Decently balanced with a mild bitter finish.

Sampled on draught at Silver Creek: pours a clear copper with a medium sized white head. Plenty of floral aroma, and strong hops. Taste is light and bubbly, citrusy all around, with pleasent grapefruit flavors. Finishes rather light for an IPA, but very nice anyway.

Amber to red. Almost clear. Some creamy white head. Fruity hop aroma, spicy. Bitter, alcoholic, and spicy flavor, but clears quickly, inviting another sip.

Good. From the tap at the brewpub. English in style, with a nearly opaque copper color and thick creamy head. Nice hop crispness, but smooth and sessionable.

On tap at the brewpub on 6/21/07: Transparent dark copper amber pour has a nicely-lacing frothy light tan head. Sweet grainy caramel malty aroma has a touch of earthy piny hops. Body starts with nice fullness and thick, sweet toasty caramel malt along with an earthy, almost peaty piny hoppiness. A nice English style IPA.

dark amber with a slight haze, fine beige head, lots of thick lace, sweet dark caramel malt aroma with a combination of citrus and earthy hops, sweet caramel malt flavor well balanced with the earthy hops, the great hop flavor leads to a tasty long bitter finish, between the dark caramel and the earthy hops that makes a light barley wine

Sampled on draught at the brewpub in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. Pours a clear reddish amber brew with a thick and creamy off-white head that slowly dissolves that leaves behind an excellent lacing and lumpy head top. Aroma of sweet grapefruit and plenty of it. Other scents picked up are orange zest and some caramel malt. Taste is medium bodied, very light carbonation with more grapefruit, sweet toffee with a piney character. Finish is extreme bitter, piney and some light caramel malt aftertaste. When doing a flight sampler at the brewpub, try this one last. The bitterness is so over-powering, the taste buds may need some recharging.

Dank copper color, tan head. Crisp, full hop (simcoe?) aroma. Sime minerally water or odd bitter component. I occaisionally get chlorine. But, some nice sweet caramel for fun, along with some Pez. Hops have a sharp crystally thin in them... good overall IPA. Plenty of hops.
