Ninkasi Total Domination IPA

I tried this from the tap at the brewery in Springfield, Oregon. It has a very hoppy aroma and flavor. Seemed to be hop heavy but not overpowering. I remember a little accessory flavor but I couldn’t write down my experience due to my timing and location. In general I thought this was one of the best examples of a highly hopped IPA I have ever tried. I will go back with a growler and soak this up before it is all gone.

I am a believer! Despite rocking a plethora of styles, Ninkasi delivers simultaneously one of the most unique and signature IPAs from Oregon. On the cusp of becoming an imperial, this gem of a beer is all that and a basket full of hop love.

I tasted this cask conditioned at the horse brass in portland. It has a huge citrus nose which was unbelivable. It was a light clear golden beer(lighter than some ipa’s). and the flavor......oh the flavor awesome balance of malt and hops. Not overpowering with hops but balanced and surely assertive enough to keep interest throu the whole beer. It also had a really great head even though it was cask conditioned.......awesome beer!!!!

Draft. Murky dark amber color. Grassy grapefruit aroma. Malty and oh so bitter flavor. Pine grapefruit and a soft buttery finish.

Beautiful golden-orange color with bubbly head that sticks awhile. Sweet topical fruity hop smells; apricot, tangerine, bit of dank. Intense tropical and citrus fruit hop flavors jump out of the light buscuity malt. Kiwi, starfruit, mild orange. Persisten bitter finish. Nice soft carbonation with light-moderate mouthfeel. Great IPA! very bitter, very tasty.
