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.

Draught, #379 Have this one a lot at my favorite bar. Usually smoky, so haven’t gotten a good whiff of the aroma yet. Orange yellow pour with nice head. Hoppy floral flavor. Pretty good IPA.

Bright orangy color, slightly cloudy. Light-moderate hops. Citrusy, slightly bitter. Pretty standard IPA here. When session-drinking, drink this one first because other IPA’s with hoppier flavors will make this one taste watery, but it’s pretty good at the front end. One thing that was distinctive about it was that it had a very fluffy thick off-white head.

12oz. Pours almost neon orange with an off-white head. Aroma is pretty sweet tangerine with the slightest notion of hops. Flavor, while I am using common descriptors, seemed fairly unique. Citrus, grapefruit but sweet grapefruit not bitter as is commonly assessed. There were some good hops on the finish. Possibly a bit underrated, also questionable as an IPA.

Not what I expected. Some subtle complexities.. smooth at the start, little bit bitter finish. Nice fluffy head, light gold, cloudy body. Solid beer.

The color is a cloudy orange amber with a thick head that formed right after it was dumped into a tulip glass also leaves some streaky laceing along the sides of the glass. The nose has some fruit esters and pinney hops with a pepper finish. Taste has a lot of citrus and pine resign. You can reall taste the bitter hops mixed with the carbonation along the sides of your mouth. The finish is weak leaving a minor caramel sweetness.

Pours bright golden with a mostly receding off-white head. Tastes of mild citrus, caramel, cookie, and biscuit malt. Medium to full bodied, resinous with lively carbonation.
