Two Row and Munich malt lay the groundwork for a simple, medium bodied malt profile, while a combination of Northwest and Southern Hemisphere hops add a tropical, citrus bouquet. Let the character of the Northwest enchant your pallet with this quintessential example of what hop country has to offer. Alphadelic IPA, true Northwest.

33cl can @ home. Hazy orange color, average to medium sized white head. Aroma is malts, hoos, resin, pine. Taste malts, hops, resinous and piney hops and a nice bitterness. Decent to medium body and carbonation. Hmm it has almost everything I like but in an Imperial IPA instead of a ’normal’ IPA. Still I quite enjoyed it though.

Can. Hop Hideout, Sheffield. Gold, with a little haze. Thin, lasting, clingy, white head. Big, rich, stewed hop juice. Resinous end of the spectrum. Chewy malts. Full and sweet. Taste is piny bitter. Bit of spicy, ginger sweetness. Slick, full palate. Finishes long, resinous bitter, with some dryness on the close.

Can to nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy amber to orange color with a one finger white head. It quickly dissipates to leave light lacing roaming around in a mess sort of way.
The smell started off with a crisp pine to lead into some tropical fruits, caramel malt, and then light honey.
The taste was mildly sweet with light bitterness from the pine to stroll in to balance. There’s no aftertaste but it had a crisp sweet to bitter pine finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionable oily texture.
Overall, its a good AIPA that I could come back to.

Bottle, 0.65, courtesy of Bongtribe. Pours hazy amber color with medium creamy white head with floating yeast particles. Aroma of mild tropical fruits, caramel malt, honey and pine. Taste starts with moderate sweet caramel, follows by harsh grassy bitterness with rather dry mouthfeel and long hoppy aftertaste. Medium to full body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. When you get used to initial harsh bitterness, you just love it...

355 ml can from Ales by Mail.
Amber, clear body, with a big, creamy, lacing, off-white head.
Aroma with a lot of pine, citrus, grapefruit, caramel, some earthy notes.
Taste follows this pretty much.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a soft carbonation.
Finishes bitter, dry, piney, zesty, a bit earthy, a bit malty.
Very nice. Straight and refreshing, with lovely pine notes dominating, but very well balanced by a caramel malt backbone. Not as extraordinary as others, but I really like this kind of IPA.

Can from Winco. Pours out a cloudy darkish amber and small creamy beige head. Aroma is hops, not big, but dominates the nose. Taste also features hop bitterness. Two knocks against: metallic taste and finish and kind of watery body. Good, but not great.

Can in Salisbury. Pours gold with a frothy, yellowish off-white head. The nose holds some rindy citrus, pale bread, tangerine. Medium sweet acor with crackery pale malts, some grain, grass, pine, ripe orange. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Finishes lightly resinous with some further grassy and piney bitterness, alcohol, slight pithy grapefruit. Lightly aggressive grass in the aftertaste. Not bad.
