Wild River India Pale Ale

Brewed by Wild River Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Grants Pass, Oregon USA

Really nice hop aroma. This has a light hop flavor at the tip but quite a bit of bitterness later. I found this quite nice.

Draft @ Wild River Brewing and Pizza Company, Medford, OR. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Has a malty hoppy grapefruit aroma. Slightly sweetish malty bitter hoppy grapefruit flavor. Has a long malty bitter hoppy finish with hints of grapefruit in the aftertaste.

Light copper crystal clear with thin white head falling fast. Mild hop aroma honey fragrance. Dry mouth feel and funky bitter alcohol flavor. English style IPA. Nothing substantial. I am sure it is better on tap.

Draft at WRBC, Grants Pass, OR. Off-white head that was mostly lasting, minimal lacing, transparent, visible carbonation, and a gold hue. Nose was hoppy, citrus and grapefruit. Ditto for the flavor. Fairly smooth mouthfeel. Nicely balanced, quaffable and not overly hopped up which is why I would drink this one again.

from a bomber. odd aroma- I thought of the ocean but not sure why, oatmeal, yeast. pours clear golden with a thickish creamy white head. thicker in the mouth then expecting, but nto sticky, hoppy pin pricks. the hop flavors a little shrill (magnum?) while the malt is light, leaving he watery sensation of ‘regular’ beer (but with more body and bitterness.). the pieces dont quite fit together. leaves the lips tingling.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a transparent softly carbonated golden colored body and a good lacing. The mild aroma was hoppy. The crisp and clean mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The nice flavor contained notes of hops. A decent one but not one that I would consider buying again.

From a 22 oz bottle puchased in Ashland, Oregon, this poured a clear amber with a medium white head that leff almost no lacing. Nose was mild for an IPA, and what there was was mostly citrus and piney hops. Mouthfeel was medium and was nice and creamy. Flavor is strongly hops with a little touch of fruit to go with with the citrus. Finish slighty bitter. I am not sure why this is listed as being from Brookings as my bottle said Grants Pass. Decent IPA.

On tap at the Wild River pub. This was a very bitter IPA, not much sweetness up front, just a dry bitter hop flavor. Hops were very citrusy with a grapefruit finish, cascades? Pours nice, very clear amber with a tall white head.
