English-Style India Pale Ale

A classic rendition of the Style named after another one of the owners passions, the Indian Motorcycle. The bikes were fabricated in nearby Springfield Ma and at one time rivaled Harley Davidson. Jay's collection of antique bikes can be seen in Paper City's tasting room. For our IPA we use nearly two pounds of hops per barrel of British East Kent Goldings and American Yakima Goldings hops. We also use British light crystal, body building Munich malt, and North American pale malt. India'n Pale ale pulls from both the British and American traditions.

Tuatara India Pale Ale showcases the popular style of strong, hoppy beer originally developed to survive the long voyage to colonists in the Raj. Brewed using the finest English malts and classic English variety hops the IPA is a rich, burnished gold, and throws an enchantingly deep hoppy nose. Full in the mouth, there is some appropriate tropical fruitiness before an imperial bitter finish.

Serving Note: To let the malt character of IPA show through it is best served warmer than most, at 12 degrees Celsius.

White Hawk Select IPA is a traditional IPA . We've blended American West Coast Cascade Hops with a very generous dose of English Fuggle Hops. This combination makes for a very aromatic character, as well as a truly authentic English flavor which you must taste to believe."Hopheads" will love this brew!

Our India Pale Ale has the local touch by featuring our local wild hop that grows along the banks of a near by stream. We use such a lot of hops in this ale that our kettle can't take it, we therefore do mash hopping which gives a great taste and aroma.

Serving temp: cellar cold 10-12C or 50-55F
