The origins of India Pale Ale (IPA) dictate its flavor profile. As a result of needing a beer that could withstand the trip from England to India via unrefrigerated sailing vessels, the English brewers took advantage of two natural preservatives: alcohol and hops. So there is the official designation of this fine type of beer. IPA is a personal favorite...I like the strong hoppy taste and finish. Found this beer about 2 years ago and loved it. Can't find it here in Colorado but did recently enjoy it while traveling in the South last week. Their UFO (Unfiltered wheat Offering) was a good taste too.11.08.2007
