In celebration of the opening of the Clinton Presidential Library, Diamond Bear Brewing Company introduced its seasonal beer, Presidential IPA. This in beer terms is a "big beer" with lots of flavor. This India Pale Ale has a rich copper color and full body which delivers exceptional body, balanced by a high hop rate. This beer has great aroma with generous amounts of cascade hops to stimulate all of the senses. This is truly a beer fit for a head of state!

[1] Review by oh6gdx from Vaasa, Finland who has tried this beer once. (2/23/2010 11:08:14 AM)
"Bottled. Slightly hazy coppery amber colour with mediumsized creamy off-white head. Aroma is fruits, some caramel malts and mild wooden notes as well. Flavour is quite similar. Nothing extraordinary, but mellow and pleasant to drink. "

[2] Review by Timmyk77 from Overland Park, KS, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (2/13/2008 9:10:35 PM)
"From a bottle. Pours a crystal clear copper with a decent sized white head. Aroma is lighter than most IPA's, but very pleasant. Flavor is very bitter, but still balanced. Very good, very drinkable beer. Glad I got a sixer of it when I was there."

"This beer was courtesy of Brett :) I found this was a nice smooth, medium bodied IPA. Pours a clear orange colour with plenty of head and decent lacing. Plenty of grapefruit on the nose, mouthfeel is creamy finishes long and smooth."

[4] Review by BeerHunter from WI, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/23/2007 6:33:18 PM)
"This one poured a dark amber color with a firm sandy colored head with great retention. It had a slightly sweet aroma with a mildly bitter flavor and a hoppy finish."

[5] Review by Singlemalter from Greenfield, WI, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/15/2007 8:56:49 PM)
"Hail to the Chief!! Finally got myself outside a bottle of this nice IPA, a gift from HeddyMuggz (thanks, hon!). Beautiful pour, a deep reddish-copper color with a huge, fluffy and lasting light tan head, and trails of lacing. Aroma is subtle and mild, but with floral hops with a nice sweet malt note. Silky smooth mouthfeel, medium-bodied but with an emphatic presence. The flavor is fully hopped, bitter and tangy, with a balancing sweet maltiness. Well done, you Arkansanians (Arkansanites?)! A lip-licking, very tasty IPA, recommended if you can find it. I have two more bottles that I'll hang onto until more show up on my doorstep!"
