andrewje41 Profile

Draft pour pint at Fast Fashion. Solid best coast IPA. Clear and shiny golden pour. Thin patchy head. Grassy, onion hop nose. Crisp side to this, but very flavorful in both hop and grain. Mostly grassy, with touches of melon and citrus rind. Very easy drinking IPA with a long lingering palate. Crusher for pre game outside the stadium.

19.2 oz can from Kroger, picked up for just a few bucks. Solid deal for this imperial series, which I've enjoyed each and every one of. Kinda a out of the can kind of cider, but I poured the second half of this one for rating purposes. Very clean and simple gold color, with a cemetery absent fruit colored tint that I was expecting. Aroma is a mixed berry with plenty of tart indication. Barely sweet, mostly tart raspberry jam notes. A little strength showing here, which I prefer. Late palate presents a nice sparkling apple, showing off the impressive base. Overall, I really enjoy this one. Solid addition to the series to go back and forth with the tart cherry.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Specual Brews. Dense juicy haze, bright golden, plenty of foam head and lacing. Smooth drinking hazy, low bitter but flavorful hops with tropical tones. Cool melon and tropical like finish. Aroma doesn't remind me of an IPA outside the west coast substyle. Juicy, unique IPA. Good stuff.

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

16 oz can poured, picked up at Special Brews. Bright golden pour, shiny over an unfiltered semi cloudiness. Loose foam head that lasts. Sturdy malt to this IPA, biscuit grains. Hops are balanced nicely, mostly on the grassy side, mild notes of citrus. Some melon rind bitterness. There's a classic side to this as far as base goes, but the hops seem unique and new. Really nice IPA overall.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Special Brews. Clean golden pour, shiny, plenty of thick foam head. Lots of juicy tropical notes throughout, while maintaining the inviting west coast IPA flavor profiles. Really refreshing, excellent tropical aroma. Ideal summer IPA here if you like it on the fruit side with no fruit harmed (I think)
