Commercial Description:
Broken Halo IPA is a beer produced in the spirit of traditional IPA products shipped from the UK to India in the late 1800s. The almost excessive amounts of Cascade and Columbus hops used in Broken Halo give it notable citrus and grapefruit aromas and flavors. The beer bitterness measures high but tastes smooth due to the full-bodied, Caramel malt sweetness. The finish is juicy, clean, and short lived. A devilishly bold, heavenly smooth India Pale Ale. malts: PALE, CARAMEL 10L & 20L,carapils hops: ALCHEMY, CASCADE, zeus

This is a very descent IPA. It pours a bubbley gold color, with a smooth hop taste.

12oz bottle. light amberishwith a thin white head typical citrus hops aromas. taste has some sweet carmel notes with the obvious hoppiness, although the hops aren’t too intense. A perfectly servicable brew, but nothing too interesting

Tap at Flying Saucer, Houston. Pours an average dark gold with a nice head and clinging lace. Sweet and sour citrus dominate the nose, with a bit of orange tickling the olfactory from the back of the room. Flavors of grapefruit and pine are immediately noticeable, with orange finishing out each sip. Mouthfeel is not as slippery as I would like it to be, but it suffices enough to warrant a mention. A very nice and refreshing IPA, one worth revisiting.

Clear, straw colored pour with a scant white head. Nice citrus hop nose. Lively carbonation and a smooth mouthfeel. Small amount of citrus hop flavor with a nice hop bitterness in the finish.

Amberish gold, creamy white head. Nicely hopped up nose of pine, juicy grapefruit, and lightly toasted caramel. Had almost a wet-hopped quality to it. Flavor was straight up hoppy bitterness from start to finish, crisp throughout, and just a touch of sweet malt bringing up the rear. Medium body, medium carbonation, bitter non harsh finish. Not the greatest ever, but certainly well done and easily a nice session brew...

About average IPA, nice bitterness, strong bite, a little overcarbonated. Body is a little dull, lacks definition. Good malt character though. Overall average IPA.

Pale gold with some haze and a thin white head. Dank grapefruit zest and urea aroma. Clean, straightforward hop delivery. Nice citrus flavor with balancing malt sweetness and perfect bitterness. Nothing over the top but a well executed IPA.

Golden color out of the bottle with a diminishing white head. Sharp citrus/grapefruit nose. Sweet grapefruit and orange juice citrus flavors with some buscuit malts. Hot hop burn on the tongue and a long orange peel bitterness in the finish. Easy drinking IPA.
