Wedge Iron Rail IPA

Outstanding, especially for a brew pub beer! I’m probably a bit partial, as The Wedge is my favorite hometown hangout, but damn, they do some good beers. Took home my first growler of this the other night, and man, it was sooo grassy. I mean this in the best way. It was like diving into a bowl of hops. And then coming up into a syrupy surface of malt. Nice, nice, nice.

Deep copper pour with light white head and lace. Apples, caramel malt, and citrus hops. Sweet malt, apples, earthy and citrus hops. Medium full bodied with good carbonation.

Brewgrass 2009 Pours a thin white head over a clear, dark yellow body. Subdued earthy hop aroma. Mildly bitter, good malt balance.

Pours a golden color off white head lacing and very creamy floral and hoppy aroma light hop not very bitter nice citrus taste and a medium body a nice simple ipa

on tap-pours a white head with bubbles and laces and amber color. Aroma is sweet pine/resin hops, secondary medium malt. Taste is sweet pine/resin with a good hops bite, some orange, backbone of caramel-medium malt. Medium body. OK carbonation.

Draft at Thirsty Monk in Asheville, 6/26. Liked it. Didn’t get to Wedge, but did enjoy the beers that I had on tap downtown. Give this one a go.

Growler. Thanks for picking this up, Chris. Deep orange amber with no head. (Note: The beer was a few days old and had been opened by the time I drank it.) Pretty nice nose, flavor and body. Definitely english in style and one of the better examples I’ve sampled. Would love to have this on cask.

Draft at the brewery. Clear orange with a sturdy off white head and excellent lace. Hoppy nose with lots of citrus and some spice over a bed of caramel Medium body and carbonation, slightly resinous, and quite dry. Good balance between caramel sweetness and the hop bitterness. NIce IPA.
