Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)

This IPA poured a light yellow colour with a quick living, bright white coloured head. Scents include dough, bread, corn and cream. First sip was smooth and pretty creamy with flavours of creamed corn and hopps. Finish is slightly bitter with floral hopps.

Bottle from Belmont Party. Poured a clear amber color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate sweet citrus hop aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and lively carbonation. Medium bitter flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. This is an average drinkable brew.

bottle. pours a cloudy bronze with medium head.has a wheaty and bit hoppy aroma. kind of flat tasting and bitter with faint hints of fruit and honey. bitter aftertaste with not much of a kick.

Gold color with some haze. Limited aroma and malt sweetness. Lots of hop bitterness in after-taste.

Bottle with thanks to coyotehunter. Pours a light orange with some haze and a medium-sized foamy head. Aromas are lightly citrusy with a bit of floral and skunked hops added in. Flavor is OK, but not that great. Hops presence is more of a bitterness than anything else (think ESB or something). Malt and hops are balanced against each other well, but they are just not that interesting.

Pours a nice pale, hazy yellow gold with thick white head, lots of lacing. Aroma of earthy hops, slight citrus, some floral notes, and not a lot else. Flavor matches, but just comes together horribly. This has got to be one of the worst IPAs I have had.

Dark straw/light copper wire pour with nose of hops, florals, malt. Tastes caramel malty, with faint hops, citrus, and some floral and spicy notes, Good, but not great. Does get a bit astringent late.

As much as i liked it (which wasn’t very much) i would say this wasn’t true to an IPA style at all. Not quite as hoppy as it should be. Rather weak in fact. The colour which i was hoping for bright orange, poured a pretty dull caramel colour. Aroma was hops with some floral notes. Taste was an odd progression that started off malty, semi sweet then finally faded into a tiny burst of something that would be bitter. Not quite astringent like a hopfeel but just a soft peck of bitterness. Back to the drawing board!
