mynameisjonas (206), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Feb 7, 2007 this beer is extremely hoppy. it tastes alright for an ipa. slight citrus taste beerbuzzmontreal (2909), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Feb 6, 2007 Pours a hazy orangey amber color with a thin offwhite head. Good aroma of resinous, citrusy hops and malt. Good flavor of resinous, citrusy hops with malt, alcohol and a bitter finish. The body is light with a creamy texture and gentle carbonation. This is a pleasant, well-balance double IPA. jblendy (518), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Feb 6, 2007 Pours hazy amber/orange with a huge frothy/rocky off-white head. Fruity aroma of grapefruit, with lots of roasted malt and piney hops. Flavor is lightly sweet, piney, notes of caramel, lots of roasted barley, and light bitterness on the finish. Palate is medium, some bitterness, a bit oily/resiny, with some remnants of caramel and grapefruit. Fairly balanced, but the malt profile overshadows the hops a bit too much. Tasty, just would’ve liked some more hops. joebrew (608), Farewell Minny; Hello Puyallup, Washington, USA Jan 31, 2007 Pours a copper color with a nice head. Sweet hoppy aroma, that tastes like a sugar covered grapefruit. Nice balance, but not a DIPA Ughsmash (3978), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Jan 31, 2007 Bomber... probably from Mista Styles. Poured a translucent coppery orange with a quick-forming cap of dense beige head. The nose picks up dried leaves, pine forest, and sweet underlying grapefruit. Flavor was quite nice with a sweet citrus bouquet and surrounding pine and herbal bitterness... left a sticky caramel and grapefruit meat finish.. slightly warm. Enjoyed this one. argo0 (6842), Washington DC, USA Jan 31, 2007 (22oz bottle) Clear amber body with small off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, orange/grapefruit, duskiness. Taste is moderately sweet, pine/grapefruit, orange, caramel. Dry, chewy medium-full body, nicely drinkable. This is a beer that needs to warm up -- both aroma and taste improve substantially as it approaches room temperature. TheBeerLover (1019), DC Metro Area, USA Jan 28, 2007 22 oz bomber. Pours to a beautiful, bright, amber color, with a thick, creamy white head, and a moderate carbonation. Lots of good piney and citrus hop aromas flood the nose. The palate is firm, with good pale and caramel malt flavors, with light esters, and some tangy/piney hop flavor. This beer finishes with good pale and sweeet malt up front, then ends with some nice piney/cirtus hop bitterness that lingers. A good example of IPA. With the number of big, over the top double and Imperial IPA’s out there, Hopmouth seems mild. It really is just a good AIPA, and the 8% abv is hidden well, making it a very drinkable beer for its strength. I enjoyed this one. LinusStick (1830), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 27, 2007 Even though this is my favorite style, I have been playing the field lately. I am married to DIPA’s and the rest of the beers are mistresses. After coming back to the wife after countless trists, I see why I married her. Man is this a hoppy beer. Had the aroma been better it would have been well into the fours. The pour is a beautiful orange with a 2 finger head that just won’t quit hangin’ on. This may sound odd, but the aroma was ginger ale. The taste was all hops with a tad of malt at the end to let you know it’s hanging on. Chalk up another great beer for Arcadia!
