Frye’s Leap IPA is an American-style India Pale Ale. It has a strong hop flavor and has a medium body. Frye’s Leap IPA is light golden in color with a fruity hoppiness that comes from extra dry hop conditioning. The IPA is perfect on a summer day it pairs well with spicy foods, vinaigrettes and grilled vegetables. It also is great with oysters, clams and chilled soups.

A darker orange pour without much of a head. A crisp clean citrus note. The mouthfeel was crisp and fizzy. The flavor lacked any complexity and left an overwhelming bitter flavor without any signature citrus finishes inherent to an ipa.

Sampled on-tap 05-22-2004 at The Great Lost Bear.
I'm thinking that it would have been better to start off the drinking session today with this beer. How come? Well, this is a fine beer and all, but not nearly big-n'-bitter enough to really qualify as an IPA.
Quite pale in color -- immediately reminded me of another light-colered IPA (i.e. Speakeasy's IPA, from San Francisco CA). But unlike it's twin seperated-at-birth, this isn't nearly as bitter.
More of a Golden or Pale Ale than any sort of beer meant to survive months and months in a ship enroute to India. And while qualms about the style need only go for so long, it's still an issue IMO.
Drinkable enough, and this would be an easy session beer, since it keeps things interesting enough. An "IPA Light"? Perhaps..., but not an unappealing one....
