Big Rock IPA

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.
