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

finally the dark golden look of an ipa.... not much aroma at all except for some mild citrus... the aroma is nice and sharp with some bitter lemon that lingers on the tongue

Small, off-white head that diminishes over the period of about 2 minutes. Nice golden color. Floral hops in the aroma with a bit of spiciness. Taste is nice and bitter. Mouthfeel is dry.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazing dark gold color with 2 finger head. Nose is mild citrus and pine. Palate is mild pine up front with some grapefruit in the finish. Medium mouth feel with ok lacing. Standard IPA – nothing sticks out good or bad.

Smells good. Taste doesn’t not last and there is no bite. I thought tasted a little weak and watered down. Smells better than it tastes. Didn’t have enough hops. The only reason I rated it this high is because I love almost all IPA’s.

Probably the best beer I have ever had from Widmer outside of their Snow Plow seasonal. Still pretty weak for the style though, not nearly hoppy or flavorful enough.

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.

Light head and lacing. Crisp gold colour. Sweet hop aroma. Beer is full bodied but a little too sweet. Some hops in the finish.
