Marzonis Avalanche IPA

Froma sampler. Huge aroma of citrus hops. Nice taste of grapefruit without the bine bitterness. A very easy drinking IPA.

Tap, sampler glass. Light mahogany color, orange/red hues. Ruby grapefruit, tangerine, grass on the nose. Malty hoppy flavor of biting grapefruit, grassy hop. Flowy smooth mouthfeel. With a tangy hop aftertaste. Most enjoyable beer I’ve found at this brewery.

Growler. Pours a medium amber-brown with a foamy off-white head that diminished quickly. Virtually no lacing. A great hoppy aroma of grapefruit and pine. Taste of bitter grapefruit with a nice balance of sweet malt. Soft carbonation. Light to medium body with an average finish. Definitely a geat IPA.

Sampled from a growler. Pours a deep amber color with a fizzy white head. The aroma has a lot of grapefruit, dank nuggs, and a little resiny character. The flavor is a sweet brown sugar with a ton of bitter, but beautifully balanced. Thick and delicious. Such a quality IPA in this hop shortage. Delicious.

Appearance: dark amber. Aroma: great big pine and grapefruit. Short aftertaste and dry on the tongue.

Boy, I hate getting bad kegs to sample. That’s the only conclusion I can come to when I see these other ratings. On tap- nice piney nose....and then.....hops run amuck, and not in a good way. Couldn’t even finish it, too much better beer around.

Poured a very nice deep clear red color with a froathy offwhite head that lasts a long time. Rustic earthy hop aroma and flavor. Very dry and bitter. Can feel the alcohol burn. Overall, decent.

On tap @ Duncansville. Pours a very dark amber to orange pour with a small foamy head. Nice citrusy and floral nose. Moderate to heavy bitterness and crackery toasted maltiness with a long lingering finish. Medium bodied with a fairly creamy soft texture. Nice soft carbonation. Overall, the best of the bunch of 8 beers I had that night.
