The Nickelpoint India Pale Ale is a moderately hopped IPA with an aroma of sweet citrus with pine notes at the end. Brewed with 4 varieties of hops, the smooth, medium bodied mouth-feel creates a beer very much reminiscent of it’s historic English roots, but with an American twist. Hops and alcohol both act as antiseptics and protect beer from spoilage. The traditional IPA was originally brewed in England with higher hop levels and attenuation in order to survive the voyage from the British Isles to India without spoiling.
