Arcadia Hopmouth Double IPA

Sampled at the Newtown Brewfest 07 with Stegosaurus. Hazy amberish pour. Good hop aroma with a splash of grass/pine. Taste had mild hop not really blended the way I like it but it was a decent beer. Very drinkable.

Pours a deep hazy orange with a thin white head that never totally dissipates. Aroma is of piney hops and caramel. In the mouth, it starts with tea and pineapple, and then a rather hard astringency emerges. It finishes bitter.

A mellow brew, plenty of hop bite, but very mellow after it warms, some alcohol, but nothing bad with it, malt is there as well, a nice drinking brew, nothing bad about it, but somewhat subdued after it warms, decent.

Bottle via john adam2002. Amber color. Smell of light hops, flowers, caramel, ginger, pepper, citrus, candy rasins, pine and malt. Taste of hops, pine, grass, malt, orange peal, clove, pepper, ginger ale, alcohol, caramel and cotton candy. A minor harsh aftertaste. Very interesting double IPA. A lot of spice going on in this one.

22oz bottle. Pours cloudy dark amber in color with light brown head. Aroma spice and floral hops. Taste of grapefruit and citrus hops and with bitter after taste. Alcohol is well hidden.

Sept. 25, 2007; 22 oz. bomber; $5.29 @ Marcy (NY) Discount Beverage. Very smooth, balanced & drinkable, with a subtle flavor for a IIPA. I suppose this brew will earn some demerits from those who don’t think it’s intense enough. Liked the malt in this one.

Decent IIPA. Not great, not bad since it is an IIPA. Good scent and taste full of hops and some pine. There could be more pine notes and grapefruit in the taste.

Orangy pour, "OK" head. Mild lacing. Nothing special here. Average quality IIPA. Hops and a little extra flavor. I don’t get all the raves. $5 a bomber. ABV well hidden. Ok,so they did something right.
