Ipswich Ales

Went on vacation last week and had a great time at the cape. I needed it after the way the sox and yank weekend ended up. I took the opportunity to bring a sampler pack of Ipswich Ales along.

The sampler pack has Original Ale, Dark Ale, IPA and their Oatmeal Stout. The stout is deep and rich in color and properly carbonated well balanced flavor with a hint of chocolate over the roasted malts, I did wish at the time that I had more than 3 for the week. Ipswich does a very good job on this one. I highly recomend it.

Next was the Dark Ale, a very good dark ale. Nice dark copper color with a good head. Good flavor with a good balance of hops, once again another good brew.

Later on during vacation I hit the Original Ale and IPA, the original is your typical Pale Ale, nice copper color good balance of hops and a nice malty flavor. While I found this to be an OK brew, for a Pale Ale there are better out there.

The IPA is as expected, a highly hopped version of their Original. Nice flavor and if you like hops, you will like this one. Overall Ipswich does a good job. For me though the Stout is a keeper!
