Schmohz In Your Face IPA

On tap: The aroma is all spicey citrus hops. It’s a cloudy orangish-brown with a small off-white head. The flavor starts with muted caramel. The finish is light citrus hops, spice, and faint alcohol. To me it tasted as if it was watered down.

Draft sample at MBGF07. Poured clear amber color with an average fizzy off-white head that lasted and produced good lacing. Moderate sour citrus hop aroma. Medium body with a thin texture. Medium biiter citrus flavor with a medium bittersweet smooth finish of moderate duration. This is a drinkable brew.

On tap at Schmohz. Cloudy orange body, medium off-white head. The aroma and body were dominated by resinous, grapefruity hops, backed by sweet bready malts. Rather thin and not very complex. The finish was bitter but definitely not overwhelming, leading me to suspect this beer has a bit of age on it. Decent, but nothing to get excited about.
