Island Brewing Company 2012 Bourbon Barrel Aged Island Pale Ale
The 2012 Bourbon Barrel Age IPA has done it again, this time earning Beverage Testing Institute's Gold Medal at the World Beer Championships in Chicago, IL. The Bourbon Barrel Aged IPA earned 90 points for an exceptional rating.
The World Beer Championships, founded in 1994, is America’s oldest international beer competition and is open to all commercially produced beers from around the world, regardless of US distribution. It is a medal-based competition that awards its medals based on a blind tasting out of a 100-point quality rating scale.
The judges were evidentally moved to prosaic waxing and had this to say about the Bourbon Barrel Aged IPA describing it as, "Brilliant deep amber color. Rich aromas of caramelized nuts, vanilla-maple fudge, and fruit danish with a chewy, fruity-yet-dry medium-to-full body and a tangy, root vegetable, latte, and peppery hop accented finish. An on the money barrel aged beer." We couldn't agree more.
