Brewers notes: an east coast style India pale ale that weaves intense hop bitterness and aroma throughout a blanket of malt backgrounds.this beer may change slightly from catch to batch as we explore the various interpretations of the style
First brewed in 2006, before the days of this whole IPA craze. The name Yippee IPA actually existed before the beer was ever brewed. We knew we needed a solid IPA to back that solid name, and thus Picaroons’ first entry into the IPA world was born.

Proper head with lacing. Slight citrus nose not present in taste. Great balance between malt and hops. No overly bitter finish. Smooth drinking.

Pours a slightly hazy, light copper body with some soapy head rising up about a quarter inch above the body of the beer. The aroma has some citrus rind, some more earthy, vegetable notes, caramel, and some toasty malts. The nature of the citrus becomes present on the palate, with mostly lemon rind edging out the path for more earthy, dry hop flavour and a certain metallic component, rounding into a prickly, but still a good finish. This is a nice IPA, not something I would search the world over to find again, but I'd be perfectly fine drinking it again.

From a 500 ml bottle purchased and consumed in Nova Scotia.
Looks good, having a particularly fine head, but the aroma and the flavor are not appealing. I believe this is mostly due tot he particular mix of earthy hops used, but the bottle may be a bad sample.
Disappointing.

A: Pale amber.
S/T: Lots of floral hops. Quite bitter. Sweet malts to back it up.
F: Good full body - just what I'd expect from the style.
O: I can't say I enjoy English style IPAs as much as a West Coast American IPA, but this one's certainly not bad.

500ml bottle poured into tulip 24/11/14
A murky dark orange liquid, lots of tiny particles being moved around by tiny slow bubbles, a loose finger of foam slowly falls to a thick film leaving plenty of random lace deep down the glass
S herbal tea, orange peel, wet leaves, hard toffee, more herbal notes, sweet malt
T some spruce, tea bag, not grassy but some plant matter I can't place, lots of rind, not exactly what I was expecting after the smell
M has some body to it, very gritty on the palate, creams up nicely form the bubbles, no complaints in this department
O lots of what I assume are English hops, fairly well rounded, respectable beer but nothings going to blow you away
East Coast IPA? I'd believe East Coast of England maybe, then again what do I know? I picked this up for 3.49$ for a half liter, not a bad buy for the $$$
