Bottled - mild cranberry and orange, fairly malty, not too bad for an Aldi offering

Clear gold in color with a three-finger head. Aroma is mild citrus. Taste is also mild citrus with a malty finish that's not bitter.

6 pack of 12oz bottles picked up at Aldi's. Pours clear golden with a medium sized white head, light lacing. Cardboard, malty, grapefruit, resin. Ok, wish I didn't have 5 more though.

Yep, got a sixer of these bottles for $9 at aldi. I'm immediately curios because it says its brewed at rock wall brewing in new york. I think it's actually Genesee. And yes, it is a pretty much on style IPA. Ignore my numbers because I don't like IPA, but I thought I'd grab this for a tick and to share with my ever loven IPA friends. The nose is pleasant hoppy perfume, no sign of BO in this. On the eye, its a pale beer with a slight haze and just a little tint of copper. Initially on the taste buds it comes across as an almost pleasant grapefruit citrus thing then, the big hop bitterness sets in, making it a typical IPA. Pretty good co2 level for and IPA and it's got a long bitter bite for a finish. I can't detect any odd astringent bite in this, which makes me think the brewer is experienced and knew what he was doing. Just reminder, ignore my numbers if you like IPA, its on style.

You know, for an Aldi-exclusive IPA, you could do a lot worse. Lots of caramel, orange marmalade, and pine, with an appreciable ABV and moderate bitterness. Reminiscent of Lagunitas IPA. Hurts to admit it, but not bad.

Aldi. Mostly clear gold with a white head. Aroma is a bit on the malty side as well as the first sip. Then the bitterness comes in for a decent finish. Best $8.99/6 IPA I've had in years

Bottle, Aldi. Slightly hazy orange with a small off-white head. Nose is honey, grasses, citrus. Citrus peel, honey, brown leaf, grasses, caramel. Light bitterness. Not outstanding, but for the price totally drinkable.

Labeled as Wild Range IPA 6.9%: Rubber and grass nose, not strong. Relatively clear amber, medium head. Grass, orange peel. Medium body, easy carbonation. Entry level IPA, that costs less than macro swill. I'm happy about that.

Funny how these Aldi specials tend to crop up right before payday! 12 ounce bottle from Aldi Appleton, 8/13/19. Dark copper, slight haze, thin foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of floral, citrus, pale malt. Taste is very hoppy and bitter. Some citrus and grapefruit (yes I know grapefruit is citrus) but mostly bitter, astringent hoppiness. Thin-medium bodied, slick, high bitterness, astringent. Not great, but I'll be able to choke down the rest of the six pack.
