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

Dark yellow with a fizzy white head. Crisp earthy and citrus hops aroma and taste with a clean finish.

This golden ale poured with a decent white head and a floral aroma. There is an adequate caramel malt base that is a bit sweet and some serious hop bitterness. This beer is drinkable, but the malt is too thin and the hops are out of balance.

Bottled. Thanks larsniclas. Clear golden colour with brief white head. Grapey, orangey aroma. Bit milky in mouthfeel, with solid grape-juice backbone in flavour, where the focus is here. Bitterness is just medium, and at that a bit papery. Pretty clean IPA here, and not at all astonishing.

This felt like I was literally drinking the sap from a Christmas tree; the aftertaste is what kills you.
