Sweetgrass India Pale Ale has been a GTBC staple since early 2002. Brewed solidly in the American IPA style, Sweetgrass is crisp and fragrant with a generous yet smooth hop character. XX Sweetgrass is all that twice over, with double the malt and double the hops--an astonishing three pounds per barrel in the kettle and another pound per barrel of "dry-hops" added after fermentation. The hops provide citrusy, resinous spiciness, making this beer a great match for any bold, flavorful food. Try it with prime rib, Indian food, Cajun blackened pork or chicken, Thai or Vietnamese cuisine.

1L bottle with waxed swing top (very annoying to open). Pours a clear golden amber with a big creamy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet lemoney fruits and grassy hops with a bit of alcohol.
The flavor is some sweet caramel malt and fruits initially, followed by a big grassy, piney hop bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and syrupy with smooth carbonation.
Overall, a decent beer. It has a lot of nice components but doesn't seem to mesh well to me. -

This was a tasty beer, although it’s not quite as hoppy as I would have expected for the style. The flavor is richly malty, only moderately hoppy, but definitely a fine beer.

Pours with an orange-amber body topped by a medium thick head with some lacing. It’s slightly sweet yet hoppy with some citrus notes and a touch of pine. Pretty well balanced for an Imperial IPA. Medium bodied and slightly tingly from the carbonation.

A copper colored beer. A faint citrus aroma with some yeast present. This was pretty thin for an Imperial IPA. Some grapefruit and caramel present in the flavor. Not very bitter or exciting for that matter. Oh well at least I picked up another state!
