Charity Island India Pale Ale: Review


Tri-City Brewing Co.
Bay City, Michigan, USA

Bottle size: 12 oz
  % abv
IBU
$1.79 a bottle from Lager Mill in Frankenmuth, Michigan


Appearance: deep solid amber body with a two finger fine beige colored head.  A sheeting of lace covers the glass with each sip.

Aroma: very light nose overall with some citrus and a hint of malt

Flavors: nice citrus, floral, spice notes with a grainy, earthy malt quality

Mouthfeel: good bitter notes from the hops and the malts trying to keep things in check.  Low to moderate carbonation that leaves a fine fizzy feel on the palate.  Lingering citrus bitter note on the tongue. 

My Strength Rating: 7

To the Point: Nice medium-full bodied IPA.  If you like citrus this is a nice pick-up.
