Commercial Description:
Acme IPA is profoundly hoppy, finished with over a pound of fresh whole hops per barrel. The result of this generous hopping is a beer that is deliciously dry, and eminently drinkable in spite of its apparent strength.

Pours clear, light golden from the 12oz. bottle into a pint glass: Nose is ripened fruit rather than anything earthy and grassy. Taste is similar- a little mild on hops and too malty for what I usually look for in an IPA. Drinkability: Nondescript, unmemorable. Rebuy: Prolly not. #191 on 07112009, DG.

35.5cl bottle at Patricks. No batch info or best before date. It poured a golden orange colour with a medium big white foamy head that vanished quickly in the glass. The aroma is suprising. notes of malts and yeast. Some hops as well, but it is subtle. The flavour is a tad bitter and oxidized. Notes of hops, yeast, malts. It has a short aftertaste. Overall it is a very drinkable beer, but fans of hoppy and agressive IPAs might find it boring.

Light orange/yellow color with white head, too much malt overtakes the slight amount of hops. Very average IPA

Hazy orange pour with a small off-white head. A little sweet with the hoppy aroma. Flavor is smooth and some hops and fruit. Lower effervescence makes it seem a little thick and there is a touch of malty sweetness at the end. Decent beer.

Light white head gently resting atop the a golden brown body with hops overriding the malts. Few accents stood out. Fairly straightforward IPA.

Taster at Great Lost Bear - Poured a bright amber in color with a small white head. Aroma was all citrus hops. Flavor was also all citrus hops... not much for malts to balance. Bitter finish. OK, but not anything special.

From a botle poured amber with a fair amount of head. Nice hoppy flavor with a lingering finish.

Run of the mill IPA brewed with a nice hop flavor. Great summer beer. Still love the concept of the beers.
