Farmer's Tan Session IPA
(has 1 batch)

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 3/19/2014. Pours moderately cloudy deep gold color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, floral, grass, light pine, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with bright citrus/grassy hops and light-moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, herbal, floral, grass, light pine, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate amount of floral/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, herbal, floral, grass, light pine, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a bit. Nice and pleasant flavors with solid robustness of bright citrus/grassy hops and light-moderate pale malt sweetness; with a very nice malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbon can light-medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish as expected of 4.6%. Overall this is a nice and pleasant session IPA. Good balance and solid robustness of bright citrus hops and light-moderate pale malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Bottle. Pours yellow gold with white head. Nose/taste of grass, pine, light caramel malt and toast. Lighter medium body.

Pour is a clear copper with a large white head. Aroma is a nice spicy and floral hop. Flavor is an ok hop with some dry malts to bind things up. No re-inventing the wheel here but this is a decent hop fix beer for mid-week drinking.

12 oz. bottle purchased at Lukas Liquors in Kansas City, Missouri. Dob 03/07/14 stamped on the bottle. The pour is a clear orange with a one inch egg white head. Falls rockily with some lacing. The aroma is soft grapefruit citrus, softly bitter, toasted malt perhaps a layer of spice behind the hop and malt. Nice aroma, though somewhat subdued. The taste is the spice resin bitter with the grapefruit peel citrus and the cracker malt from the nose. Decent balance of flavors. Bit of a soapiness to the longish finish. The palate is light bodied, crisp carbonation and the dry bitter finish. Solid easy drinking session IPA.
