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

Pours a clear golden amber with minimal head. Nose is of hops typical of an IPA. Taste is bitter with lingering aftertaste. It remains bitter for too long. Other IPAs finish quicker than this one. Still better than just about any macro.

Bottle from Safeway in Medford Oregon. One of the milder IPA I’ve had. Still had that hoppy citurs taste but very muted. Very easy to drink and even on the palate, just not very complex. Good beer.

Mild floral hops aroma w/ some sugary skunk coming through. Nice malty nose with a typical hoppy finish. Everything about this brew is mild, and that makes it a fairly average beer. I can’t say I can find anything wrong with this beer, but I don’t know if I will try it again.

Courtesy of douglas88. Pours gold/copper with a white head. Smells of citrus, grass, hay, caramel. Tastes lightly bitter and peppery with lots of earthy character and a citrussy finish. Some resin also present.

This IPA tasted a bit like Kolsch and Pale got mixed in. The hops aren’t very crisp, and the aftertaste sits on the roof of the mouth and tongue. Flavors are of citrus, but it’s also very bitter. Little bit of malt. Eh.

aroma is sweet citrus, flavor is pretty mild for an IPA, grapefruit from hops, with a balanced maltiness

355 ml bottle. Golden bronze body with an off-white head. Aroma is fruity, citrus/grapefruit. Flavor is also fruity, citrus with sweet malt and a sharp, balanced bitterness. A nice, plain, straightforward IPA for everyday use.
