Hazy bronze color. Minimal head. Toasted grains and citrus, orange juicy hop aroma. Flavor consists of a solid malt backbone with assertive hop bitterness swtiching to more citrus hop flavors. A solid pale that could easily serve as a tasty session brew.

The name is confusing: Indego Pale so I asumed it was an APA...wrong....cool label of a sailing ship though.

This beer pours amber/brown with a slight head. The aroma is sweet and malty with caramel and biscuit flavors in the background, some hops as well. The taste is sweet, smoot and unremarkable as it finishes. Seems too mild and weak in its body. Nice try but not quite perfected yet.

This brew pours out a copper gold color with a spicy aroma with a hint of malt. The medium body support a light lingering malt flavor character with a latent but rising spicy, buttery and smoothly bitter hop presence. Not bad, but not up with the best.

Aroma mostly malt based with some sweetness and freshness to it. Nice amber color, clear, with a full head. Little light on the overall flavor, malt mostly noted. Little bit of hard water character. Mild throughout with a dryer finish, but nothing striking. Does have a nice smoothness and softness to the feel.
Is spelled Indego on my bottle.

looks and smells like a vienna style red, but alas it's an ale. i found this to be too sweet and with a heavy caramel malt body that seems syrupy. would make a good swilling oktoberfest in a huge rathskellar full of dancing and singing germans. actually sounds like fun...is it the end of september yet?

Tried the Bombay Express Ale, turned out to be wrong thinking it was an IPA. So I tried the Indigo Pale Ale, thinking this HAS to be an IPA with that name. Wrong. Nice beer though. Slightly floral/citrus up front with a mellow hops finish.
