Thomas Hooker Hop Meadow IPA

Brewed and bottled by Thomas Hooker Brewing Co, Bloomfield, CT.  Bought and drunk at the River City Grill in the Marriott Hotel, Windsor as an aperitif to dinner on my own, of blackened salmon with rice and green beans.
I enjoyed the beer, it was flavorful without being too hoppy.  A nice pleasant drink to while away time while reading the menu .

Hop Meadow IPA

Style: India Pale Ale

ABV: 6.4%

Available: Year Round

This pale ale was originally brewed in 19th century England to survive the long ocean voyages to India - hence the name India Pale Ale. To keep the beer from spoiling during these four- to six-month journeys, a stronger, more generously hopped ale was produced.
Hooker's creamy IPA emphasizes traditional West Coast Chinook and Cascade hops which produces a hophead's delight of a brew: just-right complexity that's not too sweet or over-the-top with hops.
