Big Rock's India Pale Ale was on tap at Moxie's in Winnipeg this evening.
For a "pale", the color is a rich amber, and boasts a decent-sized cream-colored head. The aroma isn't strong, but what one can detect is simple and straightforward: malt, caramel, and perhaps a touch of hops.
I didn't get much from my first sip. Second sip was rounded, malty, and may have a bit of a roasted nuttiness that is pleasant and understated. The taste is predominantly bitter, with a medium dryness that trails off. There are distinct floral notes, but they don't appear until mid-finish and then quickly dissipate.
The Bottom Line: A solid, tasty IPA that is tolerably bitter and refreshing. Definitely worth a try.
The Rating: Good Stuff.
