Skagit River Scullers IPA

Brewed by Skagit River Brewing Co.
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Mount Vernon, Washington USA

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet hoppy lending it strong notes of grapefruit as well as lighter notes of dust and grass. The flavor is sweet mlaty with strong notes of grass, leading to a dry and very bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

(Bottle 65) Courtesy of Degarth. Pours a clear, amber golden with a tall, dense, off-white head leaving laces. Lightly sweet caramel aroma. Medium body with sweetish caramel notes, some fruit and a rather brutal, bitter hoppy finish. Quite unrefined and unsophisticated - just not my idea of a good IPA. 160607

Bottled. Hazy red, rich head. Aroma of caramel and grapefruit. Intensely and aggresively hoppy. There’s citrus and licorice and some cookie malt in the background. The finish is tremendously hoppy with enough inky bitterness to kill someone.

Bottle. Hazy orange coloured with an off white head. Fruity aroma of hops with notes of pine needles. Flavour of hops, fruits and pine needles with notes of grape fruits. Hoppy finish. Unbalanced.

Cask, at the brewery

Got the dregs, so it’s murky as hell. Citrusy, yeasty aroma. It’s like a yeast & hop sandwich so I grabbed a keg. Here it’s still a little murky but not nearly as yeasty in flavour. Nonetheless, it was a little muddled, with fruity notes and diacetyl amidst the hops.

(22oz bottle) Pillowy beige head atop lightly hazed, dark amber body, nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, pine/grapefruit, some caramel, floral, cookie. Taste is medium sweet, pine/grapefruit, some caramel. Chewy medium body.

Bottle. A amber beer with a big off-white head. The aroma is hoppy, piny and of grape, the taste is light fruity, hoppy, piny with grape. Medium body with a dry finish.
