Traditional Old English Style with a Pacific Northwest dry hop addition, well balanced-not over the top. We take extra time to bring out the full flavors of this brew.

From a large can. Dark amber color with a half inch of light brown head. Smells of caramel and pine. Fairly light body. Caramel malt flavors with some point and earthy hops. Nice, been a while since I've had an English IPA

very much an old school ipa here, even as an english style, it looks like an amber ale in the glass, redder than even the old school ipas of this country. unlike their nut brown though, this isnt overly sweet, and drinks layered and balanced to me, fuller bodied sure, lots of malt character to this one, but its also bitter at the end and there is enough going on for me to be entertained through the whole drink. nutty and caramelized from the grain side, bready and doughy too with the yeast, maris otter maybe and a richer crystal malt. the hops are pine forward, higher alpha, and pretty classically northwestern to me, woodsy and autumnal or wintery even, short of hot or intense, but big enough to push through all this malt character. the ferment could be a little drier, but i like the body here, i like the carbonation for the style, and i think they did a nice job with it overall. i have no issue with this type of ipa, in fact i kind of miss it in the face of all these hazy ones, so what if its a bit of a throwback, it drinks like a classic. kind of a time warp here, but a tasty brew overall and the better of the two i had from these guys on my trip to alaska.

Golden color and clear. Moderate head and lacing.
Comes across more American than British sure to the low caramel effect of the most malt. This is odd because many of Kassiks beer feature this.
The nose is mild but floral. The flavor leans appropriately to the bitter with pale malt base being brief.

Pours a slightly cloudy copper color with a white rocky head. Has a sweet hop nose to it. Has sweet and earthy hop character. This is a well balanced ipa really nice. Gonna have to track this down when I get home from alaska.
