New look, same fresh taste. One of the all-time highest rated IPAs on RateBeer, AleSmith IPA is a west coast-style India pale ale icon. Bursting with massive hop aromas of grapefruit, pine, and tropical fruits from huge additions of Columbus and Citra, this classic IPA is perfectly balanced by a healthy malt backbone and smooth, bitter finish.

09-09-17 // taster, draft. At Beavertown Extravaganza 2017, London. Awesome IPA but at the Festival in comparison to all the awesome beers it falls down. Still a great beer with loads of citric, tangerine hop bitterness and some good fruitness. --- Beer merged from original tick of IPA on 12 Sep 2017 at 15:46 - Score: 7.

Fairly amazing IPA, a killer mix of citrus-pine hop notes and a rich, grainy malt base. Starts with a swipe of lemon-orange hoppiness coupled to a thick, semisweet caramel backbone, then grows resinous and tropical with waves of pine and pineapple flowing over an earthy, bitter finish. Classic West Coast IPA nose, piney and mildly citric with an underlying malt sweetness. Pour is gorgeous, coming out of the can a clear gold with an ample white head and layer upon layer of lace. Creamy texture stays just perky enough to keep the hefty IBUs from lingering too long on the palate. Absolutely delicious beer.

355ml bottle. Pours a hazy orange with a medium, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of caramel malt, grapefruit, tangerine, peach and pine. Fresh, sweet fruity flavour of caramel malt, grapefruit, tangerine, peach, tropical fruit and grass with a dry, bitter, pine resin finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. A world class IPA. It’s Pretty Awesome indeed.

Vom Fass im Muted Horn Berlin 2017-04 getrunken. Hmm ein typisches IPA ohne viele Frucht am Gaumen eben. Nicht schlecht aber auch nicht was Besonderes.

Clear amber with little white head. Aroma is lychee, grapefruit, orange, mandarin, cake dough, resin, very fruity fine and fresh. Heavy bitterness in the taste. Smooth and very drinkable as everything else from Alesmith. Oily on the tongue. Long rather bitter finish. A bit unbalanced for Alesmith standards actually. Good.

Canned 355 ml, from Pivoljub. One yr old. Shared with JFK10000. Pours hazy yellow, white head. Fruity jammy aroma. Citrus, oranges, grapefruit, smooth, lasting bitter finish. Medium bodied. Not bad, have to try the fresh one.
