Description:
Jack Straw India Pale Ale is our no holds barred tribute to hopheads. A taste explosion of fruity and spicy hops makes our IPA stand out from the norm. A true American IPA with resinous hop bitterness mated to fresh-off-the-vine hop flavors and aromas wrapped around a solid undertone of maltiness.
Hop flavors and aromas of pine, lemon, and a hint of stone fruits jump out of this fairly dry beer.

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.
