Commercial Description:
The I.P.A. is a classic English pale ale, cask conditioned and dry hopped with Cascades. The I.P.A., like our other cask beers, is served through a sparkler on an English hand-pull faucet. The pale ale is bittered with Bullion hops and is finished with Cascade and Willamete hops.

Note: the word Imperial here does not refer to a double/Imperial IPA, and is simply the name of the beer.

An orange beer with a small disappearing off-white head. The aroma is lovely hoppy combined with sweet caramel notes. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and oranges leading to a dry end - but before that the body seems weak in the begining.

Does this beer even have a flavor or taste? Nope. Does it have an aroma? Nope. I had this beer at the brewery in Denver and it had zero taste, zero flavor, zero aroma. I actually sent it back/dumped it for another fairly bland beer. I have never had such a crappy IPA in my life and suggest it be avoided.

Tasted in Colorado (Denver). Tasted at Wynkoop Brewing Company. Liver is going to quit - I am NOT. Must complete my mission. Who does number 2 work for? (oops, wrong movie - bad timing). Deep deep copper colour. Sooo deep. White fluffy cumulous head, I see angels dancing on the peaks. Again, such a fruity aroma - mother of pearl. Taste is an orchestra of subtlety and destruction.

pretty standard. some pine and lychee in aroma, but way too sticky, hint of mango nectar, lower bitterness than expected

Clear red appearance. Biscuity, hopy aroma. Low in carbonation (cask), sweet tropical fruit and biscuity malt with a good citric bite in the finish. Rated low because it’s my favorite style and I was not impressed.
