Cask of Central City IPA at St Augustine Beer Bar , dry hopped , one of the best session IPAs made in BC and probably in Canada . Surrey doing something right for once

The Snake Dog IPA is a golden 7,1% abv India Pale Ale from Flying Dog Brewery. The same brewery also has a great Porter called Gonzo Imperial Porter, dedicated to the late Hunter S. Thompson, that I've enjoyed numerous times over the last couple of years.

A 1-liter bottle of Dundulis Humulupu IPA from Širvėnos Bravoras in Panevėžys, Lithuania, at Bambalyne in Vilnius.

 

Dundulis Humulupu IPA is as the name implies an india pale ale of strength 5.5% abv 44 IBU. It poured a slightly hazy copper color with a beige head. It sported a fine floral hop aroma with some pine notes. Mouthfeel was medium heavy with a creamy texture. The taste was surprisingly fresh, with a green grass character, perhaps hay, before it ended in a good resiny bitterness. This is a very good IPA.

A velvety smooth IPA from Oregon. It has a great hoppy bite, with a nice malty tone.

Fernie Brewing Co.’s first in a series of four Limited Release IPA’s

A bottle of Holtens IPA from Holtens Gaardsbrygg in Stavern, Norway.

 

Holtens IPA is a 6.5% abv india pale ale brewed with organic hops and malt from Belgium and England. It poured a slightly hazy golden amber color with a large white head. For an IPA it smelled very little of hops, more of dried cereal and hay. The taste was estery, again with some cereal malt notes but little hops and hardly any bitterness i could discern.

 

Overall a fairly boring beer and certainly no IPA.

American-hopped IPA marries a bold and complex hop character of pine, citrus and spice with fruity notes and a crisp finish created by German Kölsch yeast.

Hopped with Citra, Simcoe and Chinook, it is a slightly hazed blonde IPA with fantastic aromas of spicy pine, resinous hop character, and citrus fruit. Balanced flavour between the American hops and our German Kolsch yeast strain provides a very unique backdrop for the hops to interact.

Information about Mack Vinterland IPA at Blå Rock Café, in Tromsø, stating:

 

Er brygget på 4 typer malt av rammeste sort og har blitt smakssatt med 5 typer humle fra England, nord amerika og New Zealand. Brygget inneholder også en stor porsjon med go rockemusikk i tradisjon tro fra vårt lille musikalske mikrobryggeri (alt spilt på vinyl selvfølgelig).

 

Denne IPA'en har god balanse men biter svært godt fra seg bak på tunga å får uønsket hårvekst til å gro frodig. Er du en sart sjel anbefaler vi at du heller går for noe mildere, kanskje en skive norvegia?

 

---

 

Brewed with 4 malts of the best kind and brewed with 5 varities of hops from England, North America and New Zealand. The brew also contains a large portion of rock music true to the tradition of our small, musical micro brewery (played from vinyl of course).

 

This IPA has a good balance but will bite your tongue and make unwanted hair grow freely. If you've got a tender soul you may want to try something milder, perhaps a norvegia (a tasteless cheese).

 

[blog entry]

"It might be America's —and craft beer's— flagship style, but drink around and you will likely taste regional variation, meaning what we think of as an IPA can vary, depending on where we are geographically. Here's a loose-fitting categorization of IPA. It's important to bear in mind that wherever a brewer is based they can be inspired to make any kind of IPA they most enjoy. Consider these a discussion point."

*****************

The original American IPA

Mid-1990s onward

Toffee-like malt in the background with a burst of floral, grapefruity hops in the aroma and the flavor. The moderately high bitterness is balanced against the malt sweetness, though still punches hard. These are the early defining American IPAs, and still stand up today.

Try: Lagunitas IPA; Bear Republic Racer 5.

 

West Coast IPA: the early years

2000-onward

The hugest of hop hits, resinous, pithy, citrusy, with a very high bitterness, often completely unbalanced. The use of caramel and crystal malts bulks out the body but you probably won't notice more than the brutal hops.

Try: Green Flash Palate Wrecker; Stone IPA

 

West Coast IPA: the less-bitter middle years

circa 2007-onward

The huge hop aroma remains, it still gives all the qualities you expect, with lots of dank pine and citrus pitch, only now, there's some balance in the beers, even at the extreme top end —less bitterness, less malt, but still some toasty sweetness.

Try: Ballast Point Sculpin IPA; Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA

 

West Coast IPA: the next years

circa 2010-onward

Seemingly the hops have shifted from being the bittering addition and have instead been added as late or dry-hops. Bodies have slimmed, bitterness reduced, aromas use more recent hop varieties (Mosaic, Citra, etc.) than the classic C-hops [Cascade, Centennial, Chinnok, etc.], but flavors are still big and bold.

Try: Stone Enjoy By IPA; Societe The Pupil

 

East Coast IPA

circa 2010-onward

An early form of the style, but still around today. These are maltier than the West, some caramel and toasty depth, less of the harsher malts, more floral and grapefruity instead of resinous and juicy (maybe from British hops), rounder mouthfeel, and less pronounced bitterness.

Try: Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA; Brooklyn East India IPA

 

Northwest IPA

These are all about the hop aroma and flavor where the beers are top-heavy with fruity, citrusy, piney hops. Importantly, they are alos often unfiltered which adds to the simple grain bill and gives body and a general malt richness without sweetness.

Try: Deschutes Freshly Squeezed; Gigantic IPA

 

Midwest IPA

Think oranges, marmalade, orange soda, and floral, where a sweetness of malt gives a caramel richness to the brew and balances the bitterness. These likely use the classic American C-hops rather than newer varieties.

Try: Bell's Two Hearted IPA; Goose Island IPA

 

Colorado IPA

Lots of caramel malts pack the body with a lip-sticking sweetness and a toasty, toffee-ish flavor, while the hops aggressively come in to balance that bitterness and then throw out some dank, pithy aroma.

Try: Oskar Blues Gubna; SKA Modus Operandi

 

Vermont IPA

Similar to Northwest IPAs, these are very aromatic, fruity with citrus and tropical, lots of floral aroma, and the hop flavor is loaded throughout. Expect a hazy and relatively full body because they're unfiltered, where there's a juicy mix of hop and malt to balance the brews.

Try: The Alchemist Heady Topper; Fiddlehead IPA

 

Russian River IPA

This arguably stands alone as one brewery's defining impact on the style. Loads of hop aroma, zesty and fresh, piney and floral, citrus, then a very dry, pale, clean body of malt. In many ways, this type of beer is becoming the standard of American IPA today and reflects back to the current West Coast IPA.

Try: Russina River Blind pig; Russian River Pliny the Elder

A bottle of IPA from the Full Sail Brewing Company in Hood River, Oregon, enjoyed at the Salt Island restaurant in Orlando, Florida.

 

This is a very English type of IPA, not as flowery and in-your-face hoppy as many American IPAs. Instead it had a more confined aroma and a smoother taste, not as bitter as I'm used to. Very drinkable though and probably a very good summer beer. But at 6,5% abv one shouldn't drink that many :-)

 

In September 2008 I visited the Full Sail tasting room/pub in Hood River.

A two-fer! A seasonal beer for my 52 Seasonal's project and an IPA for my 52 IPA's!

 

Yippee!

 

And it's delicious. As far as IPA's go, it's fairly tame, as the hoppy aftertaste is more reminiscent of a pale ale. However, it was the perfect drink to end this hot day.

 

The picture doesn't do the color of the beer any justice, as it has a beautiful amber glow. I thought it would be fun to take the picture out on the street, to give it that "grifter" look (and make my neighbors look at me funny) and all, but I guess the dark background wasn't the best way to show off the pretty beer!

Odell Brewing Company's Runoff Red IPA

Samuel Adams Latitude 48 IPA is a unique IPA brewed with a select blend of hops from top German, English, and American growing regions all located close to the 48th latitude within the “hop belt” of the Northern Hemisphere. The combination of hops in this beer creates a distinctive but not overpowering hop character. The beer is dry hopped with Ahtanum, Simcoe, and East Kent Goldings hops for a powerful citrus and earthy aroma. The hop character is balanced by a slight sweetness and full body from the malt blend.

Granville island Brewery has released an IPA under the name Urban Legend. While this is not labeled as being part of the Black Notebook series this is definitely a craft beer. A cloudy, golden coloured ale pours out of the glass with a finger and a half of lacing head. This distinct IPA smells of rich piney hops, strong aromatics, and citrus tones. The aroma forecasts a strong, flavourful and creamy beer with some big hops to go with it. The flavour is a great balance starting off with a lightly sweetened, tropical fruit like flavour that leads into a piney, aromatic hop center. A smooth body, mid sweetness and big punch of hops makes for a beer that changes through the tasting in a dynamic and fairly complex IPA
