Tasting Notes
The bottle name has the letters "IPA" in it, how clever! (Uhh...) Anyway, this beer tasted fine. Not great, not horrible... maltier than I'd like, bitter but without great hops flavors. Drinkable, but I probably wouldn't pick it up again. What was interesting about this beer was the nose; this is one of the worst-smelling beers I've ever had. Skunky and musty, and not in a good way. Thank goodness this doesn't continue through to the taste, else I'd have assumed I'd gotten a bad bottle. A rather big disappointment, especially considering how much I enjoyed Calapooia's Chili Beer a few months ago.
