Peace Tree Royale 41 Double IPA


Peace Tree Royale 41 Imperial India Pale Ale, Brewed and Bottled by Peace Tree Brewing Company, Knoxville, Iowa, Enjoy. Please Recycle. Visit us on the web.

Appearance: highly hazed, bright golden coloring, beautiful snow white head, leaving some lace. Lovely.

Aroma: Fierce showing from citric hops, bold piney notes, full flowering. Orange and lemon and everything nice.

Taste: Mmmm. This I like. Big, bold hop character on the palate. Everything you want is right here on your tongue. Well, mine, right now, maybe yours? Tast-ee. Or, perhaps, I should call it yum, because that's how I'm feeling. It's a double IPA that doesn't scream or tear or rip or devastate. It delivers the hops without destroying the palate. Highly hopped, utterly delicious, and, again, tasty. I'm so enjoying this….

Hey, look there's all this gobbledygook, let's look at it…"India pale ales are distinguished by an eminent hop flavor, bitterness, and aroma. Royale 41 is no exception to the rule. This Imperial IPA acquires it's stately title from the 41st parallel --the latitudinal mark that runs through our brewery in the Northern Hemisphere and the hop-growing region of New Zealand in the Southern Hemisphere. Loaded with American and New Zealand hops, this is a union fit for nobility."

Well, whatever that mean, it doesn't matter, it's a damned tasty IPA.
