Arcadia Hopmouth Double IPA

Courtesy of Sammy. Hazy orange-brown with a huge, nice, creamy and lasting head. The aroma is nicely hopped with a lot of sweet citrus hops. The flavour has sweet citrus, sweet cantaloupe melon, papaya, caramel and it’s quite harmonic. I would have preferred it to have a better bitterness and maybe to be a little less sweet. But it’s charming as it is.

reddish brown appearance, sweet citrus aroma. light flavor unusual for a IPA especially a double! I could taste the alcoho alot more than I though considering the lower 8.1 rating. mouth feel is ok and the finish is disappointing. Its not bad I rather like it, I guess I had my expectations a little high for this. I would drink it more though.

ice tea like looking body with a small white head that leaves some lacing.small hoppy aroma.flavor is much of the same.wheres the hop blast?im guessing this is old.

Bottle. Golden/ orange colour with a beige head. Aroma is hop, citrus. Flavour is hop, citrus, fruit, malt. Bitter finish. Pleasent beer.

Bottle shared by Robert! In a night of tasting a couple different double IPA’s this one was my least favorite. It was still a decent beer, the only knock I have on it is, that is was to sweet. Lots of maltyness as everyone else says. As others point out that it was made with English hops which have never been to my liking as well. Over all not a bad beer at all, I just would not get it again.*****Update******Gave it a second chance... Original score was a 3.3. Dark red in color, decent head. Aroma of bitter english hops. This one wasnt as sweet as the last one I had. A little more balanced. Overall a solid DIPA.

Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur ambrée orange et voilée. Nez de houblon citrique (pamplemousse) légèrement résineux et floral, de levures fruitées aux petites notes sauvages (agrumes, léger de mangues et d’abricots, traces de pommes et d’ananas), malté de caramel sucré avec des notes de biscuits. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture moyennement crémeuse. Goût moyennement amer de houblon floral et moyennement citrique (pamplemousse, une amertume présente toute la gorgée) accompagné d’un goût de levures fruitées sucrées et aux petites notes sauvages acides (agrumes, léger d’abricots et de mangues, notes de pêche, traces de pommes et d’ananas) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un moyen goût malté de caramel sucré (petites traces de sucre bonbon), de céréales et avec un léger goût de biscuits puis en finale l’on assiste à un léger regain d’amertume asséchante de houblon aux notes herbeuses (herbes mouillées, faibles sensation terreuse) avec des traces résineuses accompagné de notes d’alcool doux et des petites traces de fromage vieilli. Post-goût plutôt long et un peu sec, moyennement amer de houblon floral, citrique, légèrement herbeux et aux notes terreuses avec un léger goût de levures fruitées (zest d’agrumes, pelures d’abricots) et des notes d’alcool.

Bottle, 22oz. An orange-golden, hazy beer with a beige head. Hoppy nose with citrus, pine and resin, as well as some note of fluor. Not much room for malt here. Resiny and quite fruity flavor with some beefstocky maltyness, sure on the bitter side. Full body, and a long, piney finish. Pleasant, but doesn’t stand out. (080301)

Honey colored pour with a good off-white head. Grassy aroma. I wonder whether this ale should be re-named, as it has a wheaty flavor. I liked this, but it’s far from the best IIPA I’ved sampled. Needs a little hop punch.
