With a deep golden to amber color, Ballantine India Pale Ale is delightful to behold after a lively pour in its characteristic “tulip” pint glass, with a strong foamy head. At 7.2% ABV and with 70 IBUs of bitterness, this refreshing brew is unique among IPAs in that it has been both dry hopped as well as includes hop oils imported directly from the United Kingdom in order to capture the balanced but defined hop flavor of Peter Ballantine’s original brew. Originally aged for over a year in oak barrels, our innovative proprietary brewing method ensures that every drop of Ballantine IPA comes in contact with American oak. First introduced in America in the late 1800s, Ballantine IPA was a beer for connoisseurs. It has been credited as an inspirational influence for the present day craft beer revolution in America. Handcrafted by our master brewers, this delightfully hoppy brew resurrects its deep heritage and storied past to embody an IPA worthy of the original Ballantine name. For well over a century, the interlocking Borromean Rings showcased on our label have come to signify Purity, Body, and Flavor, just like the delicious Ballantine India Pale Ale inside. We hope you enjoy it.

A copper colored beer with a big frothy textured cream-white head rising above. There's good hang time on the head. A thick, persistent cap splotches of sticky film are what is left. Bold woodsy, floral hoppiness in the nose and in the tasting. The sweet grain balances it out in the tasting to make this an easy drink.

Had to go down the rabbit hole to add this beer; the Ballantine brand is owned and marketed by Pabst but the brewing is consigned to MillerCoors LLC. So I saw this sitting in the singles section of my local provider and thought wait, haven't seen Ballantine in years, looked closer and it was Ballantine IPA! Had to try it. Oak and floral hops in the nose with some biscuit and pine. Pours one of the best heads I have seen in awhile, frothy and long lasting with great lace. (Can't believe that Miller knows how to do this!!!) Body is slightly hazed light copper with effervescence present. Mouth is towards full bodied and creamy. This is surprisingly bitter for 70 IBU, the grain bill is well balanced. Some tart fruit in the ending, the front is oak and leather and pepper. This is a shockingly well done IPA, hits the middle, not quite a hop-head beer but a VERY solid IPA consigned to a a macro brewer, I can hardly believe it!
