MrSpooks Profile

Not a bad WCIPA, lots of pine and grapefruit and citrus pith, underlined by an herbal note with a touch of white bread and resin. Clingy bitterness lasts long into the fade.

Electric Torpedo IPA from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company

11 months ago

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Pretty good Torpedo, piney and bitter as all hell but in the classic Sierra Nevada IPA way, notes of orange and grapefruit zest and a touch of caramel offsetting the deluge of hop vitriol. Clingy bitterness lingers long into the finish. Nice pint.

Phantom Torpedo IPA from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company

6.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 5 Texture 8 Overall 5

Outsized bitterness, with the Vic Secret hop minerality adding an almost medicinal slant to the finish. Modest notes of citrus and wine must and pine. Kinda weak sauce.

No Parking Pilsner from Arbor Brewing Company

7.8/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 7 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 8

Bright and crisp, with a grainy/cracker malt base offset by notes of apple, flowers, and a spicy Noble hop bitterness. Lingering floral bitter streak laced with yeast. Pretty darn nice pils.

Buzzsaw IPA from Arbor Brewing Company

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Solid WCIPA, with a lovely pine bitterness set against grapefruit zest, a touch of stone fruit, lime zest, and a slight caramel sweetness accented with grain. Nice reason to visit Ypsi.

Old-school IPA, with a mix of caramel and Cascade pine coupled with notes of orange, grapefruit zest, and citrus pith. Finishes dry with a hint of yeast. Not bad.

Very basic, macro-friendly pils, with notes of lemon and yeast and a very mild floral bitterness. Meh.
