Bagel Beer Everything IPA

Formerly brewed at Coast Range Brewing Co.
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Gilroy, California USA

Well, ther’s nothing especially wrong with it, and there are no specifically bad flavors. It’s just, well, bland. The words "mild", "mellow", "understated" and "subtle" figure way to prominently in my notes.

Just had this back to back with the Southern Tier IPA and it is much less hoppy. Orange-yellow color, moderate white head. Aroma is more sweet than hoppy. Aroma of sweet malt(crystal) and pine. Flavor is pretty sweet. Sweet finish.

Brewtopia 2004: Hazy orange with a thin white head. Spicy pine resin aroma, full thick fizzy body. Very bitter throughout. A nice IPA.

Brewtopia’04. Hazy, heady beer. Again, a very bready, doughy smelling brew, some raisin aromas. Flavor was grainy, some pine, salt at the end, Could stand to be a bit more bitter.

This produced a huge, long lasting, creamy, off white head over a muddy, orange-amber colored beer. The aroma was too bready for my liking coming from an IPA. Hints of Apricot in the aroma too. The flavor got back on track a little better, but overall this just misses the mark somewhat.

On tap at Brewtopia 2004... Hazy, golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. The nose is fruity and malty with notes of butterscotch, toffee, apricot and grapefruit. The flavor is of pine, pineapple and apricot with a hint of toffee. Full-bodied with an astringent mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Lengthy, bitter finish.

On tap at Brewtopia. Good nose, pine with a n onion or garlic thing, maybe the "Everything". Brownish orange color. Sweet and little plasticy. Finish is little sweet. Not bad, though some might be turned off by the everything part IMHO

On tap at Brewtopia ’04. Poured orage/ yellow with a decent hops aroma. Taste was medium hoppy that faded in and out with some bitterness. A decent beer, but less hops than I would expect.
