Description:
It took only a couple of rounds of India's finest for the 19th century British Colonists to write home, "Either send us some good beer or we're outta here." India Pale Ale is what was sent. Originally made extra hoppy to survive the voyage, it's unique flavor also survived the Colonists finicky tastes and became and instant favorite back home.
Pyramid India Pale Ale has the distinctively hoppy flavor and aroma craft beer enthusiasts demand. Abundant helpings of Columbus hops gives this ale an astonishing 67 IBU's - truly a beer for bold tastes! The distinguished Celebrator Beer News aptly named this brew "hophead nectar" (June/July issue, 1998).

Appearance - 3.0
Pours roughly one finger of white head that doesn't last and leaves small amount of lacing. It is a slightly hazy copper color.
Aroma - 4.0
A nice citrus/grapefruit aroma with some caramel malt.
Mouthfeel - 3.5
A light-medium bodied beer with a nice smooth feeling to i. It also feels slick from the oils of the hops. Good carbonation.
Taste - 3.5
Begins with some bready malts, followed by the sweet caramel. Next up is the citrus and grapefruit flavor. At the end the floral hops flavor kicks in. It finishes bitter as an IPA should.
Overall - 3.5
Overall it's a well rounded beer. It has an average appearance but makes up in the aroma and taste for sure. I'd recommend it to other IPA lovers.
