Arcadia Hopmouth Double IPA

Brewed by Arcadia Brewing Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Battle Creek, Michigan USA

Bomber poured a lightly hazy copper with a small lasting amber head. Aromas of carmel, fruittiness, earthiness and a hint of pine. Palate was medium to full bodied and smooth with a lightly dry finish. Flavors of carmel, earthiness, tropical fruit and some herbal notes with a smooth lingering bittersweet finish.

Too sweet for a DIPA in my never to be humble opinion!

Big hop flavor. Grapefruit, orange, lemon, tree sap, and a little bit of pine. It’s got it all. Thick body, almost sticky, but not quite. Surprisingly drinkable for the wallop it packs.

Draught@Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Hazy amber colour, big beige creamy head. Aroma is hops, mild spices, some rather earthy and also mildly alcoholic notes. Flavour is hops, grass, mild wood and very bittery dry. Wellbalanced and nice IIPA.

12oz - Nice citrus hop aroma with some melon and a caramel finish. Pours transparent copper with a bg head and great lacing. Flavor matches aroma but is lacking any hop bite. Palate is sticky and tart. A tasty well balanced IIPA.

Bottle. Aroma of straight up rich caramel malt with more and more grapefruit notes wending their way in. Flavor again highlights the rich, sweet malt at first with the same grapefruit and increasing bitterness building at the finish and throughout the glass. Rich mouthfeel. Nice, well-balanced DIPA, just don’t expect a hop bomb.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange/brown with a thick off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit and caramel malts. Flavor of caramel malt initially and a nice citrusy and grapefruity hop bite. Pretty good beer!

This strong brew poured a deep, dark copper with a little thick head and stuck around awhile. It was heavily-bodied and smelled strongly of floral hops. The flavor was indeed a "hop-mouth" and was very strong. It’s got a crisp, bitter finish which is strong but not too harsh. Only it’s heavy keeps this one from being very drinkable. Definitly milk this one!

This light amber beer poured with a decent beige head and a hoppy aroma. There is a creamy caramel malt flavor and the hopping was beautifully done, resulting in a balanced tasty brew.
