Pelican India Pelican Ale

Brewed by Pelican Pub & Brewery
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Pacific City, Oregon USA

Cloudy light amber color. The aroma shows resiny and fruity hops, nutty too, sweaty. Good sweetish toffee flavor, with an extreme hopping, very resiny.

Bottle 65 cl. Pours an almost clear deep golden with an off-white head. Peachy hop aroma. Medium body, overripe fruit and burned caramel. Rather sulphurous and bitter finish. A little rough perhaps. 220909

This bottled brew from a rating party at Patrick’s poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were and left behind a slightly hazy orange colored body and a good lacing. The aroma was mild hop and dirty sock. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish hoppy aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of hops. A decent one but not one that I would consider having again.

Bottle@Oslo Øljunta Olympen Gathering. Mediumsized offwhite head. Body is pale copper-gold. Cascade-o-rama! Overwhelming aroma of citrussy hops with a tropical touch, backed by a pleasant whiff of toffee. Predominant hop flavor; citrus, evergreen and tropical. Gently sweet caramellish malts beneath. Quite filling, slick. Finishes on the drier side, with a fine, lingering bitterness. Archetype west coast IPA, just lovely!

22oz. Bottle: Aroma of Cascades hops, citrus, grapefruit, spruce, pine, slight toasted malts, and a hint of caramel. Poured amber/orange in color with a large, loose, off-white/light beige head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Good lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and medium to heavily bitter. Tastes of Cascade hops, pine, spruce, light grapefruit, light tropical fruit, slight citrus, and a hint of caramel malts. Medium body. Slightly tingly, dry texture. Average to slightly lively carbonation. Bitter, hoppy, pine, lslight citrus, and slight caramel malt finish is dry.

Pours clear orange-amber, dense slightly off-white head with moderate retention. HUGE sweet malt and floral hop aromas, caramelized sugar and sweet tree fruit. Palate develops a ton of spicy hops and sweet malt with some brown sugar character to boot, long spicy hop finish. Delightful warm, rich mouthfeel with even carbo. One of the best of the Pacific Northwest IPAs.

On tap at the brewery on 6/27/09. Beautiful. gold with bubbly white head. A slam of hops in the nostrils dominated by grapefruit and orange. Incredibly smooth and balanced with a nice dry finished. This is what every straight up IPA should aspire to be.
