Tate the Great, our newest IPA, features an amazingly soft Pilsner malt base and highlights one of our favorites hops: Nelson Sauvin. Tate is a beautifully balanced 6.5% ABV and explodes with tropical fruit, white grape, and tangerine flavors and aromas. We hope you’ll enjoy as much as we do.

A tasty Nelson hopped offering from Tilted Barn. An easy drinking quality IPA, which is true of most IPAs from this brewery. Would recommend

Pours with a extremely thick and fluffy 1" head with excellent retention and lacing. Color is opaque hazy orange. Nose is piney OJ, musky pineapple juice, mango - you get it by now, though there is more "spice" and "musk" and "men's deodorant" than many in the class. Taste is only slightly sweet to start before piney, very lightly dank notes and more menthol/hop spice. Nicely balanced. Feel is pretty soft but only moderate weight; light, prickly carbonation. This was extremely well done - lower ABV ("only" 6.5) come across thin and perfumey to me, but this managed to be drinkable, complex, and flavorful without making me drunk in five seconds. Highly recommend.

Tate the Great Tilted Barn Brewery IPA - American
Notes:>>
The initial crisp, grainy, earthy dry bite impressed me, then its all smoothness going down. Nice. Pilsner and wheat malts are my favorite NE style IPA base. The Nelson Sauvin hop is surprisingly earthy with peppery grapefruit and dry leafy tones that lingers on for a bit. Light overall but plenty complex.

A: The beer is very hazy pale yellow in color. It poured with a finger high dense white head that died down but consistently left a layer of bubbles coating both the surface and the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of gooseberries are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of gooseberries and white grape, with the former lingering into the finish. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a bit juicy and crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This IPA does a nice job at showcasing the aromas and flavors of Nelson Sauvin.

Pours hazy yellow with moderate retention and lacing. Jolly Ranchers in the nose heavy with orange, peach, and grapes. Medium bodied with a crisp mouthfeel. Orange pith, unripe peach, and grapefruit on the palate. Finishes dry with minimal malt and a balanced bitterness.
