Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle.

The beer pours a yellow-orange color with a white head. The aroma is full of grain and some grass from the hops. The flavor is similar, with some toffee and grain notes, and a hint of grass from the hops. I get a little bit of citrus in the flavor, but not too much. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

No bottle date either

T-little bit of hop bitterness but not much else really there. Decent beer though

M-mesoum body and smooth

O- solid beer. Thank god the nose didn't really translate

I had the "six shooter sampler" at Silver City Restaurant and Brewery. This was one of the six. For whatever reason (small servings, straight glasses, environment, etc.) detecting the smells of these beers was difficult. Also, the heads had receded by the time the waitress brought the glasses to the table, decreasing my enjoyment of the appearance. With all of this in mind . . .

A - mostly clear dark yellow; lots of carbonation bubbles

S - hops, glorious hops! (the cascade stand out in particular)

T - light malt flavor hides behind a tasty blend of floral hops; hint of citrus; dry, hoppy finish

M - medium body; high carbonation

O – nice IPA!

Indianola Pale Ale - not Indianola IPA as stated. But I nitpick.
Pours a beautiful foggy amber with nice head that dissipates quickly. Leaves a nice layer of foam typical of IPA's. Lace is spotty to non-existent.
Aroma - Malt sweetness - nothing special.
Taste is well balanced and a little sweet. Hops present just enough to make their presence known. I note a little lemon flavor. Very nice.
Overall? A very easy drinker. Polished off the bomber before I realized it. Could easily have another.
I think I will.

Reviewed on 1/16/2010. Bottle thanks to riversideAK. Pours a hazy dirty orange with a small white head. Aroma of caramel malt and floral hops. Flavor of sweet fruits (apple in particular), floral hops, biscuity malt, some hop oils in the finish. Very pleasant and super drinkable. Great IPA!

22 oz. bottle from By the Bottle Vancouver WA, shared with local Brewmaster 6.24.2010.

One finger white head, pretty quick dissipation, decent lacing, deep gold clear body, some carbonation visible. Pretty malty in the nose, sweet, not much hop aroma. Taste is well balanced, sweet malts up front and floral hops, not too bitter. Mouthfeel is medium, pretty good effervescence. Very drinkable. Actually this was quite good, not hop aggressive, but very tasty. Worth a try.

Poured a nice orangish/copper color with a small white head and good carbonation. Nose is faint hops, floral. Taste is pretty average at best. Floral hops, light booze and subtle bitterness on the end. Overall this a is a pretty simple and average IPA. Not worth seeking out.

22oz bottle poured into a 22oz stein

Pours orangey-amber, slight head and strong lacing. No visible carbonation. Smell is citrus, sweet, and delicious. A little hoppy.

Taste is beautifully balanced. Hoppy and sweet, citric and floral, not overbalanced in any direction. Leans towards the hops, which is nice for me, since I love them.

Mouthfeel is nice -- it's substantial without being oppressive, thick but not sticky...very pleasant.

Very drinkable. Very pleasant. I'm a little drunk while reviewing this, so please forgive me, but I'm really enjoying the beer.

I'll provide a picture of the bottle if you want it, but I won't make the effort to fit it within BA's photo requirements.
