Gage Roads IPA is a classic hop driven pale ale brewed with 5 Australian specialty malts and dry hopped with 5 natural hop varieties. It shows notes of dark stone-fruit and citrus within a complex floral aroma. A rewarding ale, it finishes long and dry with a lingering complexity.

"Nice amber colour, with a fast-sinking head. Some bubbles.
Strong nose of hops, with a hint of some toasty malts.
Taste of some grain up front, followed by a hop profile that's hard to nail. I think I get the metallic hints of Fuggles, or the Englishness of Goldings, but also some fruitiness like an American variety (Amarillo or Cascade). It's quite a blend. Touch of honeycomb-like malt notes, but it's mostly hop. There is a firm bitterness at the back, and a crispness closing. Not bad."
