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.

Hoppy, malty nose with a citrus note; Hazy gold with a small offwhite head; pleasant hoppy flavor with citrus and malt playing in, along with the nice hoppy finish. Nothing close to the Moylan’s Hopsicle I had the other day but quite decent.

Had a bottle of this one day last week. I think it was after work Thursday night. Nose of pine resin, flowers, and a bit of dried fruit thrown in for good measure. Pours a clover honey. The sticky fluffy off-white head is mostly lasting with good lace. The flavor is incredible for the style. Much richer and deeper than I am used to for a single IPA. Coffee, dried fruit, and nut tones waltz on the tongue. The finish is incredible. The medium body is dry, and soft with an astringent feel to the finish. I am startled by the lowish ratings for this brew. Highly recommended.

Pours copper with a two-finger white head. Citrusy, piney, lightly earthy aroma. Nice and thick in the mouth. Standard IPA flavor with the added bonus of a strange woodiness about halfway through. No complaints, no accolades. Still leaps and bounds ahead of the Acme Pale Ale.

For some reason, I was expecting to be dissapointed with this selection, however, I was pleasantly suprised. All around great IPA, from the bottle to citrus aromas, Acme California IPA is an excellent choice.

Bottle: Poured a dark golden color ale with a huge foamy head with above standard retention. Aroma of citrus hops and sweet malt is well balance and very pleasant. Taste is sweeter then expected but very well balance by citrus hops and a medium bitter finish. Not the most extreme IPA but a very well balance example that I enjoyed more then expected.
