IPA
Columbus Brewing Company

A beautiful golden with hints of orange, crystal clear; beautiful opaque white head with denser islands that linger; great and abundant splotchy lacing.

The smell this beer is to die for; it’s just so fresh smelling and pungent in the most glorious way. There’s an underlying subtle grainy malt; a huge huge waft of evergreen and tangerine like citrus note as well.

Taste doesn’t disappoint that beautiful nose; just super sappy refreshing pine, the underlying citrus is very rind like and the same grainy malt hiding in the background.

This beer is very easy to drink, great soft and creamy carbonation, huge bitter and clean dry finish. The bitterness is beautiful as it hits every where, back of tongue, roof of mouth; just all over.

Great American IPA; I could drink this beer forever.

 

 

When I think of a good IPA, this is the beer I think of. It is what most IPAs strive for. Smooth, not too bitter, hoppy but not obtrusive, near perfection.

 

​Columbus IPA is a "very good, very solid" brew that could easily be the benchmark for the category. It’s the kind of beer you keep stocked in the man cave when you want something that delivers 100% of the time. If someone asks what a classic American IPA should taste like, hand them one of these. Cheers!

 

 

 

 

On tap at Huntington Park, home of the Columbus Clippers AAA baseball team. Medium to dark golden orange, some haze and very thick head with abundant lacing. Smells of pine and citrus, not floral. Tastes citrus hoppy, some malt, the alcohol is not very noticeable. Mouthfeel is wonderfully smooth. This beer reminded me of Bells Two Hearted in appearance and taste, maybe less malt though. It is a fine example of an IPA
