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

Draft at the brewery tap. A golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and lovely grassy adn grapefruity. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of grass as well as grapefruit, leading to a dry bitter finish.

Cloudy amber colour. Lime, cherry, woody hop aroma. Moderate bitterness, fruity notes, some light tangerine. OK, middle of the road example, built for easy refreshment.

(12oz, thanks Bück Dich) Medium off-white head atop a clear apple juice body. Aroma is medium sweet, pine, grapefruit, some grape. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, some grape, pine, bread, light caramel. Light-medium body, light acidity, easy drinking. Surprisingly balanced for a West Coast IPA.

Pours a clear bronze with a thin, nicely-lacing white head. Aroma is lightly caramel malty sweet with some fresh piney, citrusy hops. Body starts mildly sweet with some crisp, lightly bitter grapefruity hop flavor and a touch of grainy malt. Finishes bittersweet and lightly sticky. Nicely balanced and very drinkable IPA. Thanks to wohlfs for the bottle!
