Description
"A dry, refreshing IPA with agressive hop character. This beer is certainly a cousin of Prescription Pale but is straw-colored, lighter bodied, and has a decidedly English hop bill. Challenger, Northdown, Fuggles and Goldings are all used although a noticable addition of Cascades keeps this ale anchored in the U.S. style. With five hop varieties and five additions this IPA has the most complex hop character of any of our beers. Pale malt comprises most of the grist but some light crystal malt and a bit of malted wheat (for taste, body and head retention) round out this beer nicely. Another cask-conditioned favorite. As an historical aside, Inda Pale Ales get their name from the days when Inda was a British colony. Standard British ales were not surviving the long sea voyage to the Indian subcontinent so a stronger version was produced with more hops and alcohol to ward off contaminating bacteria."
