About

Commonwealth Body English is an American IPA at 7% ABV from Commonwealth Brewing Company in Virginia Beach. This beer marries American hop character with English ale sensibilities, creating a balanced and approachable expression. The beer presents a clear, bronze hue with a firm head. On the nose, citrus and grapefruit hop notes combine with subtle biscuit and caramel malt aromatics. The palate is clean and well-structured, with lemon and tangerine fruit character underpinned by toasty malt backbone and a touch of woody spice. The finish is dry and crisp, with a gentle lingering bitterness. Medium body and refined carbonation make this an easy-drinking IPA that rewards both casual sipping and closer examination.
