Dundee India Pale Ale

Brewed by High Falls Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Rochester, New York USA

Great smell and a pretty color. Not as hoppy as some, which makes it a good tasting easily drinkable beer

A pretty agressive hoppiness to this but not really in a great way. Just seems to be hopped but not balanced. However, it was certainly pretty drinkable and maybe a little underrated.

Soft brownish-red body with a white head that evokes lacing in a perfect balance--a half-inch head sits comfortably and sternly... spruce and hops abound, with fitting hints of malt--this could be a pleasant surprise! Smooth--too smooth?--for an IPA; warms the whole mouth with its medium-bodied presence... malts are present, as are citrus hints and a warming herb or two... not bad--slacks off as the glass drains still, a long way for Honey Brown’s maker! A strange taste when exhaled, though... A pleasant, nonthreatening IPA--an American IPA that you don’t need a toothpick or a toothbrush after imbibing... overall, I could drink this again, and with regard to the sampler, the next best thing to the Brown...

i tell ya’ll what...t this brewer for its costs with both quality and availabilty is greata. although i never tasted anything superb this poured a dark amber with a creamy head. tasted like i expected. it it overwhelm me? no but its solid. a very good brew that you can get on the cheaper side. shit what else do you all want? i m sur a monk didnt brew it but its worth its due.

Presentation: Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass glass. It has nice amber color with good clarity and a thin foamy head that is off white in color. The aroma is light with a pleasant citrus hop scent over a faint malt note. It has a mellow pine and citrus hop tone balanced by a thin malt presence. The palate has a smooth mouth feel with a light to medium body and mild carbonation. Basic, smooth, and safe. It has a simple, never over the top flavor that is enjoyable but not one that you would say I need to get more of that.

There’s not much impressive to comment about. But and alright IPA. Nothing terribly bad, but nothing too impressive either.

Bottle.
I’m begining to dislike filtered beer- weak, hollow amber color in this one. Smells a decent strawberry-infused grapefruit, with a hint of apricot. Weak notes of grapefruit dominate the flavor, with just a touch of pine in the background. Very watery taste and mouthfeel. Not horrible; nice session IPA.

The aroma is piny with some citrus and lots of caramel malt. The appearance is amber with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma and good despite being weak in the hoppy category. The palate is typical. Overall a very good session beer.
