India Pale Ale, or IPA was developed to quench the thirsts of British settlers in the East and West Indies. Our Bodega Head IPA recreates the stylistic ideas of the 1800’s. High alcohol and aggressive hop characteristics are matched with a dry malt background and finish.

Enjoyed straight from a 16 oz can at Fisherman’s Cove in Bodega Bay. Straightforward, classic IPA leaning a little maltier than altogether West Coast. Good notes of pine and citrus, a present backbone of caramel malt, and clean, decisive bitterness. Light to medium body with moderate carbonation. Balanced and quenching IPA that went down well with an order of oysters, halibut and chips and clam chowder.

Handsome clear amber with plenty of foam. Sprightly mouthfeel and fairly light body. Some pleasant mango-like aromatics. Flavor is grapefruit and a lingering pithy bitterness. And an even longer bitter aftertaste. Faint touch of malt is pleasant while it lasts. Sharp and acidic. I can't see any point in this one. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Mollie Stone's market in San Francisco.

Clear gold draft pour with white head. Flowery hop nose and taste. Lots of malt support. Lite mouthfeel. Hoppy good.
