This IPA is an exciting beer with a floral in aroma and an incredible hop flavor. The maltiness is increased (over a regular pale ale) to help balance the aggressive hop usage. This contributes to the higher alcohol content as well. When India was part of the British Empire, pale ale shipped to the troops would often spoil due to the rough voyage and temperature extremes. The brewers had a theory that if they loaded the beer with extra hops, the hops would preserve the beer. Of course, this added significantly to the beer’s flavor and aroma. When the troops returned to Britain, they had become "hop-heads", appreciating the beauty of the hop "over-influence". Regular pale ale was simply not enough anymore! A new beer style, India Pale Ale, had been created: an aggressively hoppy and now quite happy to be home pale ale.

Pours an orange/brownish color. Smell is dominated by hops. Taste is very hoppy, considerable bitterness, no malt balance to speak of. Overall I found this beer to be a bit unbalanced for my liking.

There'sa reason it's called "hoppy trails" - It's an incredibly hoppy beer, so if hops aren't your thing, you probably won't like it. If your a "hop-head" this is your beer! I enjoyed it.

Hoppy trails to you, Appallachian. Bitter, dull rather offensive pine needle flavor with lingering bitter grapefruit rind medicine. Nagging terrible soap. Aroma is same as flavor but more enjoyable and refreshing. Costly, $4 for a bottle, but nice label. On style, what else can be said? Borders on doppel IPA territory. S6L2F2T3O4

This might be the best product they put out. A very good hop flavor ith a 6. something alcohol kick to it.
