Selins Grove Olde Frosty IPA

Brewed by Selins Grove Brewing Co.
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania USA

On draft at the brewpub. Pours a coppery amber with a medium beige head. Pine hoppy aroma with grassy and citrus tones. Taste of piney and grassy hops with a citrus feel to it.

On draft at brewpub. Poured deep copper in color with a frothy off white head and great lacing. Aroma of piney and floral hops. Taste is of caramel, citrus and floral hops. Very nice sweet and sticky hop taste. I think I still liked the SNAFU better, but this one was a very close 2nd.

Dark copper brown. Sweet cherry and chewy caramel hop nose, with sweet citrus and bread crusts. Sweet tasting, sugary, with juicy maraschino cherry hops, and some rich, toasty bread malts. Fresh, sugary, frothy. Excellent stuff... a hefty winter warmer hopped up to IPA levels.

has a nice piney/hop aroma, good body, strong piney/hop flavour, a strong and pronounced IPA.

Draft @ Selin’s Grove. Pours a dark, slightly hazy amber color; off-white head with gorgeous, fine-bubbled lacing that coats the glass. Plenty of biscuity, earthy English hops in the aroma; hop oils and resins coming through; fresh. Lively carbonation. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: tons of chewy citrus and earthy English hops; resinous and dank, well-balanced with some biscuity and earthy maltiness underneath; very generous, smooth hop profile, and one of the better employments of English hops I can think of trying recently. Lengthy, bitter English hops and biscuity malts in the finish; never astringent; no sharp edges.

Growler. Pours a dangerously still leather apple cider color, but then an unseen depth charge goes off under the surface resulting in a wave of yellow-tinged bubbles rushing the surface and vigorously animating a beige head. Laces in a swooping bunting design. Aromas are dripping with piney oils and resins. Smells tacky and sticky. Smells delcicious. Flavors carry a worthy caramel malt base, layered with all things pine: needles, sap, resin, oil, flaking bark. Full mouthfeel, lending a smooth drinkability. A chewy hop concoction. The growler was dispatched qutie easily.

most full aroma of hops I’ve ever smelled. Just full of piney and resiny hops. dark copper in color. flavor was really hoppy and delicious with lots of pine, citrus, and resiney notes, but was not overwhelmingly hoppy, good balance while maintining big hop character. sticky full bodied mouth feel. All in all an awesome IPA, but I could detect a slight appely off flavor, but that mixed with the hops too, so its actually pleasant, but still kind of an off flavor in the beer.

On tap at brewpub. Pours a dark copper to medium brown body under a small creamy beige head with good retention. Nice aggressive piney hop aroma balanced by a hefty bready malt base. A little floral qualities as well. Flavor is piney and juicy citrusy hoppiness up front fading to a sticky resiny finish. Malt is pretty hefty with caramel and doughy notes. Light note of yeast on the finish. Mouthfeel is full bodied and fairly thick with pinpoint fizzy carbonation. Slightly sticky and resiny on the finish. Overall, I really liked this one. Deceidedly heftier than their IPA, especially in the body, but I didn’t think that this crossed over into IIPA territory. Nicely done.
