Unique

I'm a RateBeer refugee that has come to Brewver to continue my craft beer journey. Have been rating beers since the late 70’s (before it was called craft beer and before the internet). Always on a quest for new breweries and beers. I used to be obsessed with building my ratings numbers, but now, I’m really into quality, not quantity. I love all styles and types of craft beer. I've tasted beers from more than 1,600 different breweries including every state in the US and 86 different countries.

Gripweed57 (8744) reviewed Classic IPA from Gold Dot Beer 8 months ago

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5

16 ounce can from Tavour. Number one with a bullet. Brassy gold pour is topped by a rocky beige head. Bready malt aroma is balance by spicy, herbal hops. Flavor is sharp and distinctive. Big spicy hops are the rule here. The hop bill brings notes of grapefruit, pine, dank citrus and black pepper. As promised, an old school/ West coast pedigree brings you back to the late 1990’s and early 2000’s when massively hopped IPAs were making their mark on the craft beer scene. This is certainly a sip down memory lane.
