North By Northwest Green Menace

Brewed by North By Northwest Restaurant and Brewery
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Austin, Texas USA

Bomber shared by beastiefan2k. Pours golden amber with a thin wispy off-white head. The nose is of bright PNW hops with a sweet, malty caramel backing. On the light-side of medium-bodied with soft carbonation and a bitter finish. The flavor is of solid pale malt with a hit of piny and citric hops in support. This is a solid enough IPA, but I am not sure I would call it an IIPA. I do like it, though. Thanks for sharing it with me, Eugene.

Bomber shared by SoLan, I think. Pours a blonde/gold with a slight white head leaving a touch of lacing. Big pine, grassy hops gracing a slightly toasted malt aroma. More grassy pine hops, very fresh and green in flavor, quite bitter, toasted malt low backbone. Slightly astringent mouthfeel, medium carb, quite nice. The hop punch on the nose is quite pleasant.

Courtesy SoLan. Mostly clear amber color, thin white soapy head. Nice heavy grass and pineapple hop aromas, less punch than expected for a 7%. Nice punch to the taste though, borders on being astringent, but pretty nice overall.

Thanks to Solan for sharing! Fresh cut pine with traces of grapefruit peel. Pours pale amber. Loads of piney hope in the flavor, super hoppy, resiney, with hints of biscuits. It leaves the mouth feeling sticky! Solid IPA!

From bomber. Aroma is fruity/citrus, crisp, and moderately hoppy... reminds me of Stone IPA with with a bit more pine. Color is a thinnish amber with thin white head. Taste is fruity hops with slightly sweet malt and a moderate hop bite that lingers, but overall taste seems somewhat thin given that i’m viewing this through the lens of ’DIPA’. Quite drinkable, would probably make for a solid DIPA if the flavor wasn’t as thin.

22oz. bomber, with thanks to BeastieFan2K. Pours a clear goldenish amber with a creamy off-white head, minimal lace. Aroma is nice, with pine/resin, and some citrus. Flavor is more tongue scraping and rough, which kind of kills the additional pine and citrus on the flavor. A bit rough around the edges and imbalanced, not bad, but none too exciting. Thanks again for sharing Eugene!

22oz bottle acquired in trade with lb4lb (thanks!). Poured a medium and slightly hazy amber color with a large sized off white head. Aromas of floral hops, some pine, and some toastiness. Tastes of floral hops, toasted caramel, and some citrus. More hops in the aromas and leaning towards a more malt balance in the taste. Some lacing left on the glass.

On tap at NXNW. Nose is very fresh-can I say "Pliny-ish?" Bright and gold filtered. Soft hop nose and bitter. Taste is smooth with a soft mild but very present fresh hop profile. Alcohol is very present with no malt profile. Very nice overall though.
