Seasonal IPA Series This I.P.A. recalls ships stocked with beer for the military saling from England along longitude 4 20 to the far-flung outposts of the British Empire. Generous amounts of imported British malts and hops provide an exquisite balance to Calcutta 420 while "Roundin' the Horn."

This IPA pours a medium orange color from a 22oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is piney and a touch grassy. A medium bodied IPA, Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are piney and a touch citrusy grapefruit. Kind of earthy and way more in the English style of an IPA. It has that must earthiness thing down fairly well. Nice balance. One in a series of ‘seasonal IPA’s’. Wonder what that means? Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

22oz Bomber bottle. Sampled on a lazy Saturday evening.
Knowing that I've generally had piss-poor luck with Coast Range beers in the past, just exactly why did I pick up this offering at BevMo two days ago? Good question, to which I have no good answer to. But to be honest, after sampling this, I really expected much worse from this offering. And it's better than their standard IPA, which seems odd to me too.
A classic case of when hops can be used to hide and/or partially mask other flavor faults in a beer. Like I've mentioned with some of the other Coast Range beers, this beer has some serious astrigency issues, steming from the use of generally cheap-ass high-IBU hops. Thus, no small amount of rawness in the mouthfeel.
But with the increased hop-load, this beer actually starts to approach a semblence of nomality and balance, all-told. Enough to put this beer into the upper ranking brackets, IPA-wise? Hardly. But even still, enough to keep this beer from finding an early down-the-drain grave.
Overall, considering my very low expectations of this beers, and the price I paid for this, this was not a bad deal, all-told. A basically workable IPA, me'thinks.
