Pilot Series: 610 Jindia Pale Ale
Stone Brewing

Grunt fill from Albertsons. Pours out a medium amber, kind of flat. Aroma is sweet malt with the aromatic herbal additives. Taste also hints at the English style IPA base, but has plenty of juniper and lavender notes, a little bit floral, a little bit herbal. Sweet caramel rides under the savory tastes. Interesting, tasty, and lingers for a bit.

 

Look: It pours a light amber with an off white head. The head retention is good and leaves some lacing as it recedes.

Smell: The aromas are full of flowery elements. There are almost rose like aromas with lemon and lime elements. There are low spices in the background with a bit of juniper and ginger.

Taste: It has a very complex flavor that is unique to most of the beers that I've had. The juniper berries and ginger take center stage with flowers mixing in with the initial taste. It is spicy overall with the flavor. There is a low flavor of lemon and limes in the background. It is balance towards the hpos with the malts barley noticeable.

Feel: It has a moderate body with is quite spicy and moderate bitter and dry in the finish.

Overall, this is a very unique beer with the different flavors, but they only really partially work for me.
