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.

Bouteille de 12 oz donné par un collègue de travaille qui a été en Californie en octobre dernier. Couleur jaune/orange claire, collet moyen avec un bonne dentelle. Simple arome d’houblon peu amère. Goût d’houblon amère assé bien.

Bottle. Hazy light orange with a frothy off-white head, spotty lacing. Shockingly, I picked up a bit of skunk on the initial aroma, then some grassy malt and piney hops. Piney/resiny/grapefruit flavor, bittersweet hop/malt finish. Not really a standout over other IPAs from CA but otherwise not terrible.

Pours a hazy golden color with a frothy white head. Aroma of hops, citurs, and standard piss beer. Flavors of citrus, piney hops, and a strange fruit flavor. Easy to drink IPA, but nothing great.

12oz bottle. It poured a creamy yellowy orange with a decent head. Some lacing but not much. Nice strong hoppy flavor with a strong bitter aftertaste.

12 oz bottle. Creamy orange with a big frothy white head that settles to a melting chunk. Speckly lace. Salty yeast cakes and faint orange honeysuckle; stale malts. Chalky bitter lemon with rubbery pith. A little toffee and orangeade. Medium light, medium carb. At least six months old so maybe past its prime.

12oz bottle. Pours with a great two fingers of smooth clinging white head. Distinct golden hue. Clear and bright. Grassy citrus hop aroma. Trace malt note. Grapefruit and slightly musty. Almost a slight vanilla nuance. Toasty. Nice aroma! Still a nice lacing on the side of the glass. Full, lively and spicy. Great hops. Citrus with a syrupy cloying finish. Sticks to the teeth and gums. As it warms, the hops subside for a great warming sensation. This is nice.

tap at the brewpub - This ale has a mild hops aroma. It looks pretty good with the deep golden color and medium head. It’s medium bodied with a good hops bite, though it’s not particularly strong. The finish is off. It has what tastes like the same unpleasant finish that I found in some of Mendocino’s brews, another brewery from this part of California. Maybe i just don’t like the variety of hops used? I don’t know.

I was hoping for a more bitter brew, but this one was missing the "profoundness". Pours a nice deep yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was somewhat grassy and floral. I did pick up on the hops in the aroma. Flavor was lacking. Initially it was nice. The hoppieness disappeared in a quick type manner. It was dry, very dry actually. This brew left me wanting more. now it wasnt a bad brew by any means. it just seems they stopped before they had what could have been a much better product. Typically not what I had expected from North Coast.
