From Kensington Brewing Co.;

Named after Kensington Market’s (in)famous fishmongers on Baldwin Street, FishEYE is a bold and assertive India Pale Ale. We use 4 different varieties of American hops and a heavy dose of caramel malt to create a pleasantly balanced hop-forward IPA. FishEYE-PA pairs well with a burger, spicy Indian food and sharp, strong cheese.

Appearance | Hazy copper with an off-white foamy head that laces the glass.

Smell | Hops, tropical citrus, hints of pine, tangerine, and orange zest.

Taste | Bitterness upfront, tropical citrus, zest, and tangerine.

Aftertaste | Lingering refreshing notes of bitterness and citrus-y.

Overall |  Baldwin FishEYE-PA is…hop candy in a tallboy.   As The Brew Head recalled the first time trying FishEYE-PA at Grand River’s Beer Club last year when it was just a sticker on a silver tallboy.  It was a fantastic brew, and it still is!  Baldwin FishEYE-PA is truly a treat for the hopheads out there.   Want to start slowly?  Check out Augusta Ale, their flagship ale.    FishEYE-PA is a delicious, hoppy brew with lots of citrus notes and lingering bitterness (in a good way!)   Infact, FishEYE-PA is in The Brew Head’s personal rotation whenever possible.    So check out this hoppy IPA out!
