Fish Tale Organic IPA – Soundkeeper

**UPDATE**

For some reason unbeknown to me, I screwed this one up.  I think it was a mix of the brewery and my investigative skills, to be honest.   So… the good folks at Fish Brewing hooked me up with some goods to get me on the right track.  Here are all of the posts from that experience, which I hope will set the record straight here.

• Fish Tale Organic India Pale Ale
• Fish Tale Organic Amber Ale

First beer of the trip.  Had to kill some time and do some work at the airport last night, so sat down and had the Fish Tale Organic IPA – Soundkeeper.  This beer is a bit of a mystery… had to call Anthony’s Homeport at the airport today to confirm this was it since “soundkeeper” seems to be somewhat of a side name.

Anyhow, no picture… I forgot and my camera phone sucks.  So I bought a 22oz glass of the stuff and settled down with the warm glow of my laptop screen.  I was surrounded by fellow travelers that I quickly tuned out and ignored.   A lighter than expected color and small head greated me.  I took a taste and tasted the comfort of hops and malt… more hops than malt, of course.  The aftertaste is where I was let down, though.  It stuck with me… no clean finish.  Just mild hops and on into bitterness that left me feeling like I had bitter stuck in the back of my throat. 

Short review… overall not impressed.  Won’t be looking for this one in the store, I am afraid.
