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

Bottle. Poured hazy orange with thin white head. Lekker floral aroma with citrus notes. Hop and grapefruit flavour. Light body,. Small hoppy finish, not what I’d expect from an IPA. This bier began better than it ended, but is still quite drinkable

A very nice IPA courtesy of cbkschubert. Aroma was so so. Pine and slight citrus. Pour was a nice deep gold with a one finger off white head. Taste was nice and hoppy. Very earthy and malty with a medium bitter aftertaste. This is a great beer to use as an ambassador to craft beer. Not too big, easy to drink and full all around.

draft. Harvest gold with faint head. Hippy aroma that leads to a dry bitter body.

A good IPA. It stands out because it is very hop resiney. Just the right about of bitterness and good floral citrusy flavor. Malt sweetness comes through well too. Nice summer beer.

12 oz bottle. Pours a light amber color with a decent head that falls to a thin froth. Nice lace lets you count your sips. Pleasing grapefruit nose. Citrus on the front with a solid malty middle. Nice carbonation with a dry pleasant bitter finish. I like this beer.

old rating: 7/3/6/4/15 - 3.5. pours a semi-clear yellow-orange, with a very thin head that doesn’t stick around for long, and some lacing. smell of grapefruit, earth, some pine, some citrus, and caramel. taste is a little creamy, slightly bitter, nice balance of hops and malts, some caramel, and just a little sweet, ends with a dryness on the back of the tongue, as it warms becomes less sweet and has more flavor.

Bottle bought in Jackson, Wyoming. Pours a clear orange body with a small white head. The aroma is full of grapefruit and some caramel. The taste is very well balanced between juicy grapefruit, some sweet caramel malt, and a bit of bitterness in the finish. A very well crafted IPA. Enjoyable.
