Beavertail IPA
Beavertail IPA is named after Beavertail Lighthouse, which has guided sailors where Narragansett Bay meets the open ocean since 1749. The brewery describes it as an East Coast IPA and pours it as a house beer at its Providence taproom. It pours a deep golden color with a sturdy white head. Citrus peel and pine lead the aroma, joined by a faint saline note that recalls sea air, and the hop character carries through into the finish.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Beavertail IPA
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
