Commercial Description:
St. George India Pale Ale is a traditional English style ale with a distinct hop spiciness from imported 100% UK Fuggles hops. Deep copper in color, our IPA has a full malt base and a pronounced hop aroma. It was awarded the GOLD medal in the international category as the best India Pale Ale at the 2000 Beauty of Hops English Ale Awards.

In a word..dusty. The beer came across as the epitome of a beer that smells and tastes dusty. Not sure how old the bottle was, but perhaps that’s the culprit. The aroma, as mentioned, was flat out dust/dirt (perhaps that the UK hops?). Lightly sweet with some malt to keep the dust in check. The beer was the color of watered down cola, with a nice off-white/khaki tan head, frothy with some nice bubbles. Flavor of dust, honey, and a touch of metal.

Bottle from a dragon pack from Whole Foods in Charlottesville. Orange-brown pour with a minimal head. Piney and earthy hop aroma. Vegetal/grassy hop taste with a nutty malt background. Like most of their beers, not spectacular but very drinkable.
