Description:
A Cascadian treasure, Fish Tale Organic India Pale Ale is a medium-bodied beer with a rich golden color. The organic pale and crystal malts contribute to a firm malt body that provides the backbone for an aggressive hop profile. Our India Pale Ale features a unique organic hop grown in New Zealand, called Pacific Gem. The moment our Mighty Fish Brewers sampled this pungent and resinous new hop, they knew it would be perfect for their Organic I.P.A.

Varietal Definition
India Pale Ale (IPA):
India Pale Ales are deep gold to amber in color, and are usually characterized by floral hop aromas and a distinctive hop bitterness on the finish. India Pale Ales were originally brewed by British brewers in the 19th Century, when British troops and colonizers depended upon supplies of beer shipped from England. Standard ales did not survive the journey, hence brewers developed high gravity, highly hopped ales that survived shipment in casks to their largest market, India. This style, probably not anywhere near as bitter as it was when destined for India, continues to be brewed in a toned down manner in the UK and is undergoing a mini-revival at present.
