American IPA Style
6% abv
Appearance: bright copper body with a 2 finger off-white or
light beige head that leaves chunky globs of lacing behind
Aroma: very light, no citrus, no hops to me, smoky, toasted
grains but very faint,
Flavors: nothing I would expect from an American IPA,
caramel, roasted sweet grains, light citrus, light herbal lemon grass, smoky
oak barrel feel, mineral, soft earthy feel
Mouthfeel: mild carbonation, smooth, yes too balanced for an
American IPA, I would have guessed England, mild-moderate bitterness, grassy
aftertaste,
To the Point: the German and English hops seem to dominate,
mild citrusy style, for an American IPA style – eh it’s Okay, do I like it as a beer …
yes.
I think they need to age this Ale in oak barrels
