John Henry West Indies Pale Ale

This is a Lager... but, if you like IPA's you may like this one. Clear with a deep amber color. pleasant hop flavor and light aroma. Great balanced taste with a touch of bitter at the end to offset any sweet maltiness...
Thanks for the feedback, Jet. Their site says they use American hops. But I've never had that kind of taste experience before with the like. I hope to think most beers, even ones I don't really care for could be very well suited with the appropriate food or meal accoutrement. Only time will...

I would like to echo some of these sentiments...

First impression is good! Very dark IPA with a dense medium light head. Not overly floral or bitter as per their choice of American citrus hops to brew with. Different than what I normally imbibe. Sweet citrus up...
This was given to me as a gift to try since I love bacon!
Certainly bacon'esque, but mostly very smokey. The maple keeps it pretty sweet tasting. Sweet Smokey Beer. After a while its all too overpowering. I personally wasn't won over by this novel brew. Maybe splitting a bottle between...
