Lake Placid Brewing Company India Pale Ale

Dark copper in color, it has an aroma of burnt caramel and malt with a sharp note of hops that is not at all fruity or citrusy.  The taste is very dry and astringent hops with a malt taste at the finish.  It tastes much like it smells.  This is not a IPA of the very floral, citrus, grassy, etc. variety.

Lake Placid Brewing Company is in Utica, NY.  This started as a winter seasonal for them but is now one of their regular beers and is their most award-winning beer.
