Style: American IPA
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 7.50%
Availability: Year-round
Notes / Commercial Description:
This is an American White Oak-aged version of Jai Alai India Pale Ale. The white oak adds smoothing notes of vanilla and slight hints of dill to the aroma and flavor profile. The finish is elegantly dry due to the light tannin notes from oak aging and though still loaded with hop flavor, hop bitterness is more restrained.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a tulip. Many thanks to dachshundude86 for this one.
A: Pours a dark hazy amber with a 1finger head that quickly dissipates to a thin film. Plenty of lacing is present.
S: Oak, Toffee, Vanilla, a hint of resin/pine a hint of tropical fruit lingers as well.
T: Very close to the nose. Lots of Oak, toffee, vanilla some pine and hint of grapefruit.
M: Medium body and carbonation. Finish's dry and slightly watery.
O: Not sure what to make of it. Lots of oak but minimal citrus /IPA. Worth a tick non the less.
