on THE TAPHANDLE

Powerhouse India Pale Ale, an India Pale Ale by Powerhouse Restaurant & Brewery

On tap. Sixteen ounces of joy in a shaker glass. The IPA served to me was golden-orange in color and somewhat hazy. The generous white head had staying power and contributed to the good lacing. The aroma was mostly grapefruit. The flavor was also mostly grapefruit, with some grassiness and a wee hint of lemon zest. The mouthfeel was a touch thinner than I expected, but, all in all, good on the palate. The flavor lasted, and then some.

This is a great beer to have with the Powerhouse's Overload Pizza. The Overload is a meat lover's pizza, with lots of pepperoni and sausage. The tanginess of the pizza sauce plays nicely against the bitter of the IPA. I'll do it again, hopefully soon.
