INDIA PALE ALE
Aroma: A prominent hop aroma of floral, grassy, or fruity characteristic typical. A caramel-like or toasty malt presence may also be noted, but
may be at a low level. Fruitiness, either from esters or hops, may also be detected.
Appearance: Color ranges from medium gold to deep copper, with English versions often darker than American ones. Should be clear, although
some haze at cold temperatures is acceptable.
Flavor: Hop flavor is medium to high, with an assertive hop bitterness. Malt flavor should be low to medium, but should be sufficient to support
the hop aspect. Despite the substantial hop character typical of these beers, sufficient malt flavor, body and complexity to support the hops will
provide the best balance. Very low levels of diacetyl are acceptable, and fruitiness from the fermentation or hops should add to the overall
complexity. Some alcohol warming may be sensed in stronger versions.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, medium-bodied mouthfeel without astringency, although it has moderate carbonation combine to render an overall dry
sensation in the presence of malt sweetness.
Overall Impression: A decidedly hoppy, moderately strong pale ale.
History: Brewed to survive the voyage from England to India. The temperature extremes and rolling of the seas resulted in a highly attenuated
beer upon arrival.
Light amber color with distinct hop bitterness and aroma.
Includes: 7 lbs. Light DME, 4 oz. Centennial hop pellets, 1 lb. Crystal malt and dry ale yeast. Approx alc. 5.0% a.b.v.
