Commercial Description:
Sweetgrass is crisp and fragrant with a generous yet smooth hop character. The sweet bouquet and spicy flavor come from the combination of five hops and Idaho grown barleys. The color? We call is “Suntan”!

Maybe I’m just feeling this one right now, but this is a full bodied IPA. I poured a bottle into my globe glass. The color’s more amber than brown. Satisfying hoppy bite. Eat my rating, haha.

Aroma is a fresh citric hop scent. Color is a bright clear gold with good carbonation and a nice but loose head. Taste is crisp, hoppy and bitter. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a crisp feel. Finish comes on with a mellow malt flavor that is chased down by a nice bitterness and light citrus hop flavor. This is a very good, mellow, well balanced IPA.

Here’s another beer these guys have tweaked, for the better. The beer is slightly darker than it used to be, pouring a nice copper/light amber. Seems like a bit more caramel malt may have been added. The hop nose is more apparent, too. The aroma is typical of an American style pale made in the pacific NW. Lots of grapefruit and citrus dominate, maybe a slight lemon zest, too. The malt provides enough backbone for the hops, without getting in their way. Fairly bitter, but not over the top like a lot of modern American IPA’s. Yep, could drink a few of these. Me likey.

This IPA has a nice hoppy hit that is a little beat up on by the heavy bitter finish. Can do a few of these.

12 oz. bottle- Pours deep golden with minimal head, aroma is lemon and some hops. The flavor is exceptional, very smooth and sweet with very little bitterness, It’s just smooth, a great session beer. Another winner from Idaho’s greatest brewery.

Poured a very light hazy golden amber with a nice white head. The nose was a nice mix of grapefruit, citrus and pine hops. The taste was a nice balance of citrus and pine hops with a great caramel balance. Medium bodied and smooth with a dry hoppy finish. This was a bit different tasting than other American IPAs i’ve had, but it was a good different. Check this one out if you ever get the opportunity.

A friend brought this back from a trip out west for me - thanks Fran!

Light golden in color with a large white head. Lots of suspended yeast particles. Mellow piney, grapefruity Cascade hop aroma, with lemons and a touch of caramel and candi sugar. Moderately bitter flavor turns lightly sweet. Nice cleansing hop spiciness in the finish, though it does seem a tad light and watery. By the time I got my bottle, it was well over 6 months old, and methinks that this little bit of aging did wonders to this beer, mellowing out the hops and allowing a rather velvety, caramel malt to rise to the surface. I was very pleased with this comfy beer.
