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 golden with almost no head. Not a much of a aroma. Hops and caramel end slightly dry and a bit thin.

Yellow gold color. Some white head. I catch some bitterness in the nose. The flavor is light and bready followed by a piney bitterness and the finish is a medium sticky with a bit of sweet fruit. Good beer from NC.

Bottle sampled. Pours golden/amber with a small white head. Aroma of slight fruit and citrusy pine hops. The flavor is caramel, fruit, citrus, and bitterness. Good brew.

If it weren’t for the resiny mouthfeel I’d call this a pale ale. Golden color, big white head. Mild citric (lime rind) aroma. Buttery toasted malts. Clean. An easy drinker and inoffensive partner to food.

Not a bad looking IPA by any means. A very light amber or dark rusty yellow whichever you prefer. The head is pure white, not too large and leaves legs of lace down the glass. Nice piney hopped nose as well. A good amount of malt also shows through on the nose. Hints of lemon, and even lime show through as well as a hint of yeast-i-ness. Beer is nicley balanced but very simple. Lacks depth of mouthfeel and complexity. A decent amount of malt leads into a bitter sticky pine hop finish. Again hints of lemon but no lime in the taste. Mouthfeel is thin and carbonated. Somewhat refreshing despite the lingering hop bitterness.

Bottle. Color is a pale gold. Poured with a nice white head that had very good lacing. Smell of hops and sweet spice. Strong taste of hops and metal. Not getting much else. Boring

Appearance: Light copper-colored body with a small, foamy white head. Smell: Faint lemony citrus aroma with lesser notes of apricots and pale malts. Taste: Starts with a faint, remote sweetness then moves to a grapefruit twang. Finishes lightly bitter, lighty metallic. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Sharp carbonation. Drinkability: Little malt, hop, or yeast character. Entirely underwhelming.
