A bottle of Mikkeller Stateside IPA at Olympen in Oslo.
According to Mikkeller this beer was inspired by the American microbrewery tradition of strongly hopped beers, thus the name. Stateside IPA is a 7,0% abv india pale ale with some malt sweetness to balance the hoppy character, but in my mouth the bitter hops were still too strong to make this a good beer.
This beer is a guest brew the Mikkeller lads made at Ørbæk Bryggeri in Denmark.
£1.39 a pint
The creation of India Pale Ale (IPA) during the 18th century was the result of tremendous efforts by British brewers to overcome a difficult problem: during the early 1700s beer did not keep well on long ocean voyages, especially into hot climates. These hot environments resulted in the arrival of flat, sour beer. Before refrigeration and pasteurization, the brewer's only weapons against spoilage were alcohol and hops. Alcohol and hops provide an unfriendly environment for microbes, preventing the growth of the bacteria that cause sourness. Therefore high alcohol content and high hopping rates could protect beer from the souring associated with long storage times.
The East Indies market was a very tempting but difficult one to enter for English brewers. After the British East India Company had established itself in India by the early 1700s, it had a large number of troops and civilians demanding beer. However, the long hot journey proved a difficult one for the dark ales and porters of England. Ships typically left London, cruised south past the equator along the coast of Africa, rounded the Cape of Good Hope and then crossed the Indian Ocean to reach Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras. The temperature fluctuations were huge, it was a very long trip (about 6 months) and the rough waters of southern Africa resulted in an extremely violent voyage.
Despite these obstacles, however, English brewers did try to establish exports to India. Early shipments to India contained bottled porters, the favorite beer in London, which generally arrived flat, musty, and sour. The answer to the great beer problem finally came from a recipe created by George Hodgson at the Bow Brewery in East London. India ale was a variation of his pale ale, which Londoners had been drinking since the mid-1750s. Hodgson took his pale ale recipe, increased the hop content considerably, and raised the alcohol content. The result was a very bitter, alcoholic, and sparkling pale ale that could survive the challenges of travel and shelf life in India. IPA reached India in an enjoyable condition and Hodgson's success became legendary. Hodgson began shipping Hodgson's India Ale during the 1780s. By 1784 advertisements were appearing in the Calcutta Gazette for "light and excellent" pale ale.
In the same period, brewers that wanted to export pale ale from England to Russia were facing the same problem of avoiding the rotting of the beer, thus they increased the hop and the alcoholic strength of the beer, obtaining the so called Imperial Pale ale. Ultimately the exports to Russia had to be stopped for political reasons. Brewers exporting to Russia eventually switched to India, and so "Imperial Pale ale" and "India Pale ale" became synonymous. American brewers also began brewing IPA for the export and home markets.
A nicely balanced IPA. Some citrus and floral scents. The taste can be described has having a definite malt flavor to start, followed by a strong hoppiness. Finishes slightly bitter, but overall clean. A very drinkable IPA.
Had this beer just before some chips arrived. Tasted terrible with chips. It was amazing the difference in taste before the chips and after. I found this issue with Stone IPA too. Definitely will have IPA's in the future, but will be very choosy as to which food to pair with them.

Post modern classic pale ale. Aus Schottland.
Krasses Ding. Sehr starke Bitternote, die schon fast ins Zitronensaure überschlägt. Der Duft nach Pfirsichen oder Aprikosen täuscht darüber hinweg, wie stark es auch nach Hopfen schmeckt. Man muss das Punk IPA in kleinen Schlucken genießen, mir ist aber schon fast auf den Magen geschlagen. Irgendwie habe ich es nicht so gut vertragen, aber es ist das interessanteste Bier, das ich seit langem probiert habe.

Bottle
Label indicates that this is by the Goose Island Beer Company from Illinois USA Label talks about how our India Pale Ale recalls a time when ales shipped from England to India were highly hopped to preserve their distinct taste during the long journey. The result is a hop lover’s dream with a fruity aroma, set off by a dry malt middle, and long hop finish. So this beer is made in an English style in the USA and I found it imported to England.
The label is green and white with hops and IPA very prominent.

Taste
Very drinkable smooth dry bitter. Lovely hoppy flavour. Very little aroma. I guess this is a love or hate type of beer. Personally I would be happy to drink lots of this!
Long after taste of hops, bitter and some tingle to the palette.

Babylon is an English take on an American style of the traditionally English India Pale Ale. Originating from the long voyage between England and India, India Pale Ale’s have a strong presence in the modern craft beer scene and have been adopted as the quintessential Northwest beer style. This big Double IPA is influenced by its English roots, but firmly planted in the modern stylings of Northwest brewing
...La recuerdan caminando por calles largas y secretos a medio contar, la recuerdan sonriendo a mitad de la tarde mientras lee una historia que no es la suya... la recuerdan con la frente sobre la ventana de su cuarto y la vida que por afuera rápidamente corría, ella y sus párpados a medio abrir.
La recuerdan huyendole a la vida por las escaleras de espiral hasta encontrar una puerta sin regreso.
Pobre pequeña mujer que escribe "la recuerdan"... se ha acabado el café lentamente y ha dejado marcado el fondo de la taza con una nota...
en fin, no importa, nadie lee.

Stone Brewing Company is one of the most well known craft breweries in the world and is located in Escondido, North County San Diego. The flagship IPA is a strong hoppy brew at 6.9% alcohol by volume. The pour is semi hazy golden orange body with a two finger soapy white head. A huge hop drifts off the beer from a distance. At inspection the nose contains large amounts of grapefruit and citrus as well as a light toasty malt. The beautiful grassy citrus hops are mouthwatering in the nose alone. The middle of the taste is sweet with a light caramel maltiness and sweet hops. Upon swallowing, a moderately bitter grapefruit hop finish ensues with a mild alcohol finish. A lovely beer overall, the only hindrance being the high alcohol content makes this a non-session beer. None-the-less, I wish Stone Brewing had Canadian distribution to satiate my hop addiction. CHEERS!

A pint of Centennial IPA from Founders Brewing Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan, at Bierkraft in Brooklyn, New York.
I've reviewed this on bottle before. The draft version, also a 7.2% abv India Pale Ale, poured a clear colden color with a red tinge. Big hoppy aroma, needles and pine. Mouthfeel was smooth. Good malt sweetness in the start, then a gentle hop flavor (more gentle than I remembered the bottle) with pine and citrus notes. Nice bitter finish. Yummy, this is a very good and highly drinkable IPA.

Waterloo IPA is a distinctively Canadian IPA that combines the citrus and floral hop aroma of American IPAs with the sweetness, body and finish of British-style India Pale Ales
A bottle of Ægir India Pale Ale from micro brewery Ægir Bryggeri in Flåm, Norway, at Olympen.
This 6,5% abv IPA has a very rich hop aroma, obviously inspired by American IPAs, with a full body that strikes a good balance between bitter hops and the sweet malt. It's a very well balanced and dangerously drinkable IPA!
