Description/Review: Mystic Bridge IPA 6% abv. I would classify this as pretty much your standard IPA. Nothing specific really strikes me that much. The hops used add a light, refreshing and sharp taste, but it is still nice and smooth, but not too malty. Basically like I said it is everything you look for in an IPA. I definitely have enjoyed the few I have had but it doesn't stand out as anything too special.
Cottrell Brewing Co. Has an interesting history which is worth reading about here on their website. I find it ironic that Cottrell is apparently the beer of choice in CT and RI and their family settled on a plot of land purchased form the Narragansett Indians back in the 17th century across the river from the current location of the brewery. Of course it is ironic, because Narragansett is another large New England based brewer.
So check out their brew see if you like it. It was a bit mild for my IPA tastes but still an all around solid beer. I think I'm gonna try and find their Old Yankee Ale and give that a whirl next, and if you find yourself in Pawcatuck, CT drop by their brewery!
Cheers!
Good use of the words ironic and lady friend. Right now I don't want to drink anything cause my head hurts. Today you taught me that Narragansett beer is named after the Narragansett Indians. Well you didn't actually teach me that but I inferred it. Good use of the word inferred. My regards, Jak.
ReplyDeletelol why is Jak commenting on the use of words each post? IPA from CT? I don't know how I feel about that, but I'm sure Packard has a lot to say about that
