Tired of being in the beer slump dumps? Looking for that certain sprightly spring sprig? Well search no further! One bottle of this aromatically fragrant, ginger-spiced lupulinicious liquid is all it takes to appease even the most rambunctious of palates. This is no snake oil philter good friends. We have the masterful inclination to call it exactly what it is – EXCITEMENT for your taste buds!
Made from the exotic ginger root, juniper berry tincture and a citrus peel duo of lemon and lime, these botanicals mix miraculously well with a double dose of the most delectable hops known to mankind. Be sure to crook that elbow of yours, for one gloriously refined swig! You’ll find that another is certain to follow as if by divine influence. Good for everything a beer ought to be good for. Beware of Jindia Pale Ale counterfeits from hucksters and mountebanks, and accept only this genuine article.

This beer, while not unpleasant, is not your normal IPA. It has Juniper, Ginger and Lemon peel added to it. It kind of reminded me of the way a pine forest would smell except it's in a beer and you're drinking it, not smelling it. It's not a bad beer, just not something I would want to pick up again. Others may think it's great because they like a spiced beer.

L: It pours bright amber permeated with rapidly rising bubbles. A 2" off-white foam collar with good retention blankets the top.
S: A malty background aroma supports spices, lemon, ginger and juniper suggesting a beer gin and tonic.
T: bitter even up front but the fruit and spices mellow it along with an initial sweetness.
F: medium body and carbonation
O: This is a beer well worth repeating.

L: Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Had a copper color and a clear texture. There was a half inch of foamy, very long-lasting head. Very good lacing.
S: A nice aroma of hops, pine, citrus, malt, and caramel.
T: Tasted of a lot of citrus (lemon and lime, in particular), some light malt notes, tons of pine, a bit of caramel, a hint of juniper, and lots of ginger. An interesting flavor for an IPA. The inclusion of the juniper, ginger, and an abundance of pine makes for a good flavor.
F: A fair amount of carbonation with a smooth finish. Light-bodied.
O: This is an IPA that probably won't appeal to everyone, but if you want to try something different, this is it. Drinkable.
