Highland Kashmir IPA

Brewed by Highland Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Asheville, North Carolina USA

Bottle pours amber color with off white head. Aroma is more grainy than hop. Flavor follows suit and is just average to below average.

Bottle with thanks to Greg. Pour is orange with a small head and aromas that are very grainy and dusty with just a little bit of floral hops. Flavor is a blah mix of heavy malt, a little orange and a kiss of lemon in the finish. Calling this an IPA seems like a bit of a stretch.

Thanks Bob for bringing this back from Myrtle Beach. Thanks JB for buying the 6 and leaving some for Bob and me. Pours hazy orange/amber with a nice looking, thin white head, good lace. Aroma of citrus, hops, orange scents, with malt. Tastes very nice, citrus hoppy sweet with a sweet malt finish. Medium body, good carbonation. Very nice brew.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with AtlAggie. Pours a hazy orange gold with a moderate white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left a thin layer of foam with each sip. Faint aroma of citrus. In fact, once I tasted how hoppy this beer was, I was very surprised at how light the aroma was. The flavor is primarily bitter white grapefruit pith. Excessively bitter. Probably not something I would look to revisit.

Aroma of citrus and a little pine. Pours with small white head. A very good IPA. Not the hoppiest I’ve had, but a good choice on tap or bottle.

12 ounce bottle - $5.00 at Taco Mac in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Pours a hazed, copper-colored body with a small sized, white head. Smell: Pale malts scattered with flecks of sweet-scented toffee a hint of steeped grains. Muted lemon note with undertones of florals and earthiness. Taste: Pale, faintly grainy malts along with a taste of crisp, sweet toffee and honey candy. Earthy, lightly citrusy, lightly floral hops with only a medium amount of bitterness present, but more than enough to counteract the malts. Finishes dry with just a light touch of lingering bitterness. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A smooth, pleasant, easy-going IPA that strays away from the excessively assertive, brutal hop doses that many West Coast IPA’s deliver.

Bottle thanks to emacgee. Pours a bright amber color with a medium white head. The aroma is very nice; fresh floral and citrus hop notes, lots of caramel malts as well. The flavor is also nice; resin-like hops, citrus and bitter, lots of balance provided by the caramel malt. Easygoing and flavorful. A nice aggressive hop profile and well balanced. Leaves your palate chewing on grapefruit peel.

Golden pour with a thin white head. Hoppy aroma with malt. Spicy hops, sweet malt, nicely combined for a good refreshing taste. A beer that I could enjoy all evening.
