Citra Mantra from Otter Creek Brewing
12 years ago
7.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
12 oz. bottle. Almost clear yellow, light white head that laced. Aroma is all Citra hops. Flavor has Citra as well as a variety of hops that produce a level of light pine. Body is spot on for a lager and lighter in body and feel. Drinking this is really easy, the lighter body with the Bold flavor of Citra just flows down the throat. Really tasty session IPL. If you are in VT, this is well worth a try. Super clean and easy to drink.

Hop Session from Otter Creek Brewing

5.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
Friend brought this over. Aroma is pleasant hop notes - some bitterness, earthy notes. Flavor is pretty easy to drink, but in this case it’s probably a problem. Mild hop flavor, earth, some light fruit, but mostly watered down notes unfortunately. Not the best beer for the cold of winter.

From a 12 oz bottle shared at home. Pours a clear dark cola with a thin ecru head. Malty nose. Flavors of coffee dominating, but with strong chocolate and licorice notes. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, bitter finish.

Kind Ryed IPA from Otter Creek Brewing

7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Pours a hazy orange-amber color with a medium thick foamy white head that diminishes slowly. Patchy lacing on the glass. Piney hops and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of resiny hops, earthy malt and a bit of spicy rye. The finish is moderately bitter with a hops and citrus aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draft at Whole Foods Charlottesville. Pours a hazy amber color with a medium sized frothy tan head. Decent head retention. Toasted malt aroma with a mild rye finish. The taste is strong rye, herbal hops, toasted malts and mild vegetal and banana notes. Medium bodied.

Double Dose IPA from Otter Creek Brewing
12 years ago
8.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 9
12 oz. bottle, sent from Glouglouburp (thanks a lot, Dany), pours a cloudy, solidly opaque orange with a medium white head. Nose is lovely, bringing out truckloads of rich resinous hops, a bit of tropical fruit, and a big solid caramel malt backbone. Flavour is divine, bringing out an extremely juicy flavour profile, with notes of resinous hops, grapefruit, citrus peel, and caramel malt to back. Superbly balanced, with just enough malt to give this a chewy mouthfeel that wonderfully compliments the big juicy, resinous hop profile. A supreme IIPA here.

Kind Ryed IPA from Otter Creek Brewing

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 12/29/13

Aroma: The nose is pine hops, spice, and rye bread, with some underlying citrus notes
Appearance: It pours a cloudy orange color with thick, frothy off-white head and drippy lace
Flavor: It tastes light sweet, with plenty of spice and rye, and a medium-plus pine/earth bitterness
Palate: The body is medium, it has a tingly feel, lively carbonation, and a nice, dry finish
Overall Impression: Nicely done by Otter Creek with this one. It may not be an amazing beer, but it does a really nice job of hitting all the marks that I am looking for in a rye IPA. The rye malt flavor comes through nicely.
