Arcadia Hopmouth Double IPA

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

22oz. Bottle: Big bitter aroma. Very hoppy scent with notes of pine, evergreen, resin, citrus, tropical fruits, and grapefruit. Also a little caramel malt. Poured dark orange in color with a small tan head that mostly diminished. Excellent lacing. Clear but full of particles. Sparkling. Heavily bitter flavor. Tastes strongly of hops. Notes of pine, resin, grapefruit, and some tropical fruits. Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Bitter finish becomes sweet and malty over time; almost too malty a finish for such a nice bitter beer.

Amber color out of the bomber with a sweet citrus hop nose and a lasting thin, off white head. It has the hop tastes that you would expect from an IIPA. Orange juice, apple sauce with some bready malts in front. Seems a little thin in the middle, but there is a long, strong grapefruit rind finish. Not as hoppy as some, but a very tastey hop head beer.

Bottle... Very hazy orange ale with a large, frothy, off-white head. Excellent retention. Malty, fruity nose with lots of freshly sliced grapefruit, pineapple, peach and dashes of evergreen and black tea. Hefty malt backbone with lots of hop bitterness for good balance. Flavors of grapefruit, toffee and apricot. Full-bodied with an astringent mouthfeel and gentle carbonation. Lengthy, dry, grassy finish. A shout goes out to WBC for shipping me the bottle!

Bottle shared with GregClow, Jerc, and Blankboy after MBG 06 - Jerc’s bottle. Really juicy citrus orange aroma - lovely. Medium orange, good sized frothy white head. Nice hop taste - dry citrus hops! That’s it! Ok, some alcohol too, but nothing overpowering. Decent enough body to back it up - never strays into one-dimensional territory. Nice stuff.
