Being the hop head that I am, I tried Ballast Point’s Big Eye IPA the other night.  The beer poured a deep amber with a moderate white head.  It smelled immediately of piny hops and some sweet malts as well.  The beer is a very balanced IPA.  The hops were nicely balanced by the malt.  However, the beer is a bit heavier and fuller bodied than most IPA’s.  It was drinkable, but not as drinkable as most because it was heavier.  I did like this one and it was a nice change from the IPA’s I usually drink.  I don’t think there are too many IPA’s available in RI that I have yet to try now.
