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

Im down to session this beer. Crisp IPA, the best Widmer offers in my opinion. But then again, many far better IPA’s are found. Could be hoppier

Sampled at the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild 2008 Strong Beer Fest, on February 17, at the Mesa Amphitheatre. 6/26/08: Clear medium golden color pour with a foamy head. Nice aroma of grapefruit peel and pine sap. Very similar flavor. Definayely hoppier than your average six-pack IPA. Not bad at all. Very refreshing on a warm summer night like tonight.

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

12 oz. Clear, golden-orange with a small ring of creamy bubbles. Big grapefruit and floral aroma. Flavor starts with grapefruit, resin, and caramel. Finish has a bit too much leafy resin for my taste, and not enough malt. Still a decent IPA. Light-medium body is smooth and dry.

A great and balance IPA. Smelled of light citrus and perfume, and heavy hops. A little flat on the carbonation and surprisingly watery. The flavor was a little dull with some light flowers, but overall a swell IPA.

Pours golden with tight white head that fades away but leaves good lacing. Fair amount of co2. Some grapefruit, pine and grassy notes in the aroma. Good caramel flavor from the malt with moderate to high bitterness level and good aroma. Pretty smooth as far as IPAs go. Good not great.

12 oz bottle from a variety pack case. A gift from my loving wife on our anniversary: Pale golden color with a small, fading white head. Light grassy and citrus aroma. Fllavor starts with some light caramel sweetness followed by a light citrus bitterness and a dry orange rind finish. Medium body is oily with lively carbonation.

Pours a hazy copper color with a small off-white head. Fruity aroma with caramel underneath and a hint of hops. The flavor is failry bland to start then some sweetness. A little earthy and a mild bitterness. Semi-dry finish.
