Commercial Description:
Our brewers believe an American IPA should be full of American hops. Masala Mama uses three different West Coast varieties, over five hop additions. This copper-colored ale is not strictly about hops; American pale barley and several caramel malts balance the flavor for a green, toasted caramel finish. The British realized an abundance of hops will help preserve beer … we realized hops can preserve our customers.

(Hand bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of BrianK. Pours an almost clear amber golden with a handsome, off-white head leaving laces. Rather fat and oily hop aroma with peachy accents. Medium body with some caramel, a weird ashy note and a very dry and very bitter hoppy finish. 190608

Botte #3 at Papsoes blindtasting. Clear orange coloured with a medium sized lacing off white head. Aroma of fruits, grass, hops and pine needles with notes of rubber. Fruity flavour of hops, pine needles and grass with notes of grape fruits. Dry hoppy finish.

Cloudy orange with medium beige head. Aroma is floral hoppy, spicy (coriander), mildly sweet, hint of grapefruit. Tastewise, the grapefruit overwhelms all else, though a bit of pine is noticeable. Medium/full body.

Sample from tap at the brewpub. Pours slight hazy orange/brown. Aroma of grapes, fruit and floral. Flavour is floral, citric and sweet. Goes into a caramel and bitter blend in the finish. Good ipa. Cask is much more lively in the aroma and strong addition on flavour too, also in the malt profile.7-3-7-4-15equals3.6br br Handbottled, Papsoes blindtasting, bottle #3. Pours hazy orange with a lacing off-white head. Orange ad pineapple fruity hops aroma. Mild spice note too. Subdued caramel malt note. Flavour holds mild caramel malt base quickly taken out by a dry hoppy flavour which holds a mild liqourice note and a subdued fruity flavour. Light fruity and quite dry bitter finish.7-3-7-4-15equals3.6
