Lake Louie Kiss the Lips IPA

Brewed by Lake Louie Brewing
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of sweet malt and lots of hops as well as lighter notes of citrus. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and citrus, leading to a dry, strawy, and hoppy finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Skyview. Hazy golden with a lively, tall shaving foam style off-white head. Fresh aroma of citrus. Light and somewhat watery body with a dry and bitter finish. Pleasant alright. 180808

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy to murky orange with a creamy white head. Peachy and orange fruity hops aroma. Flavour acidic and hoppy in a nice solid way - holds a mild caramel malt base yet the hoppy flavours seem quite refreshing and smooth without much caramel malt base.

Bottle. Hazy amber coloured with a huge white head. Sweet and fruity aoma of hops and pine needles with notes of grass. Fruity flavour of hops and pine needles with notes of grass. Hoppy finish.

clear amber, wispy white head, drops of lace, sweet citrus aroma with sweet pine, sweet caramel malt flavor with lots of sweet citrus hops, nice long bitter finish that gives the hop flavor plenty of time before it kicks in,

12oz bottle acquired in trade with Brigadier (thanks!). Poured a medium and hazy orange color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, pineapple, light pine and lightly earthy. Tastes of orange, pine, and lightly spicey. Thinner body. I found the tastes to be a little on the thin side and somewhat of a let down compared to the aromas.

Bottle thanks to Brigadier sampled on 2/13/07: Pours a clear bright golden with a thin ring of wispy white head. Aroma of sweet gritty caramel malt and fresh piny, earthy grapefruity hops. Body starts slightly sweet with lots of fresh bittersweet hops. A nicely-balanced and drinkable IPA.

Bottle... Hazy golden ale with a large, frothy, white head. Terrific retention. At first, the aroma was acidic/sour with citric and earthy notes. Lemon too. However, as it warmed to room temperature, the acidity almost entirely disappeared... weird. Score adjusted. Moderately bitter flavor with essences of lemon peel and grapefruit rind. Mild pale grain sweetness and bacterial tanginess. Medium-bodied with Champagne-like spritziness. Finishes tangy and bone dry. I can’t figure out whether this bottle is infected. Probably a bit. Lower score if I rated by style.
