Bull & Bush Justice IPA

tap. straw/copper with thin soapy head. smaller aroma. floral and citrus. one dimensional in aroma. fresh and crisp. herbal hops. a bit soapy

This beer pours a cloudy amber color that is a bit darker than many IPAs. The beer smells hoppy and maybe a little sweet. This coresponds with the flavor which has a fairly sharp hop character to it, but also has hints of sweetness and citrus fruit. A pretty good beer if you are looking for an IPA that has a strong hop taste but also a bit of a non-traditional flavor.

tap. lightly cloudy yellow body with a lasting white head. citrus and grapefruit nose. sugar sweet hop flavor that is mainly citrus. grapefruit lingers in the finish. a decently balanced beer.

Cask. Pours a hazy amber, decent off white head. Aroma is pine, malt, some citrus. Flavor is caramel, citrus, pine, malt. Palate is medium bodied, mildly carbonated, bitter finish. Nothing spectacular, but solid.

Cask at Falling Rock. Hazed gold. Nose is strong hop notes (pine and citrus), sweet malts, and caramel. Taste is hops, citrus fruits, pine, pineapple, cake, and caramel. Body is medium with mild carbonation. Ends with bitter hops, more citrus fruits, softer pineapple, and caramel. Nice!

Cask @ Faliing Rock: Hazy orange copper color with an off-white head. Earthy and piney hop foward with some light notes of diacetyl. Very hoppy flavor and bitterness. Light on the malt. The dry finsih was very long and bitter.

Cask... Pre-GABF ’06 at Falling Rock Tap House, Denver... Hazy golden ale with a mid-sized, wispy, white head. Terrific retention. Notes of evergreen, grapefruit and mild toffee in the aroma. Medium bitter flavor. Medium-bodied and creamy with hardly any carbonation. Lengthy, tongue numbingly bitter finish. Not an overly bitter finish; the lupulin simply provides a pleasant Novocain effect on the tongue.

Had on cask at falling rock during the GABF. Excellent IPA, medium bodied with light piney hop notes and a wonderful cask-ale texture. Cloudy straw pour with minimal head. One of my favorite ipa’s of the week.
