Arbor Yakima Valley American IPA
Cask; Regular. Also available bottle conditioned.
We pushed our small brewery right to the limit to create this bad boy. We selected half a dozen of our favourite American hops, grown in the Yakima Valley, Washington State, and added bucket loads of each. With twice the hop rate of most of our other beers, it really is very hoppy indeed.

* Can 7%.
* Appearance is hazy amber, with a thick white dissipating head.
* Aroma is moderate, peach and grapefruit, with some grass.
* Palate is medium body, soft carbonation, with very fine bubbles.
* Taste is strong, sweet, peach, grapefruit and grass.
* Finish is nicely balanced slightly more sweet than bitter with a resin hoppy drying finish.
* Overall good flavour, not too much grass and no pine. 4/5
Dość mocne nagazowanie, mocna piana (choć wcześniej puszka spadła, więc może być mylące). Delikatne zmętnienie piana perfekcyjna. Ładna puszka i etykieta. Po nalaniu całości pływają jednak nieprzyjemne farfocle. W aromacie żywiczne i dużo białych owoców. Super kontrast. W smaku na pierwszym planie nieco słone. Trochę brakuje tego nasycenia - może się odgazowało podczas nalewania. Jest goryczka, są białe owoce i lekkie cytrusy. Jest też aksamitne - może nieco zbyt kremowe. Bardzo dobre, ale nie idealne.

Can. Pours murky dull orange/Brown. Big tight foamy head. This definitely lives up to the 'American' claim. jammy sweetness, malty, of all the hops Ammarillo stands out for me. Lovely bitter finish. Mod carbonation. Definitely drinks it's 7% which adds a warm glow to the whole expeeience. Good. This would be cracking as cask.
Bottle. Amber color with off-white head. Aroma has grapefruit, tropical fruits, resin. Taste is malty with long bitter aftertaste. Flavors of grapefruit, pineapple, resin.
Bottle 330ml at home. BBE 2018-10-17. From Alko web shop. Pours deep amber with off white head. Malts, caramel, fruity hops, resin, grapefruit. Medium body, soft carbonation, slightly bitter finnish.
Cloudy, brownish orange colour with a small, creamy, light tan head. Light hoppy aroma with some fruit. Hoppy bitter taste, grapefruit. Medium body, light cabronation, smooth mouthfeel.
On tap at El Sainete, Madrid. Cloudy golden with medium white head. Nice hoppy fruity hoppiness. Malty, some caramel. Strong long lasting dry bitter finish. Not very complex.
Tap, taster. Tasted on the 14/04/2018 at "El Sainete", Madrid. Cloudy golden colour with a medium white head. Aroma of floral hops, pine and some malts. Taste is slightly hoppy and floral with presence of grass and pine. Maybe not too fresh, a little old. Next one please!
Medium/strong hoppy nuances of overaged mango, a hint pf maple syrup. A bit of bitterness and sourness like it should be in UK IPA. A hint of bitter hops. Medium/narrow taste spectrum and long/medium aftertaste with sour fruits. Balanced. Medium body with medium/low carbonation. Overall, drinkable UK DIPA. Bit artificial. 8 4 7 4 15

Pours murky orange color with a small head. Super fruity aroma, apricot, peach, pineapple and passion fruit, resinous hops, some malts. Bitter hippy flavor, Palin fruit and mango sweetness, resin, subtle malts. Quite fruity overall but not juicy, good bitterness. Very nice.

Coś mi się zdaje, że jednak już oceniałem. Bogaty aromat cytrusów i kwiatków. W smaku dośc dużo ciała, chmiele zaś niezbyt agresywne. Gładkie, pachnące piwo.
0,2l on tap @ Black Door. Pours cloudy golden with a low head. Aroma is sweet fruity malts. Flavor is similar with a hoppy finish. A bit too candyish. Decent.
568 ml (1 pint) bottle, from Ales By Mail. ABv is 7%. Hazy golden colour, large white head. Pleasant aroma of fruity (citrus, tropical fruits) hops, also notes of pine and spruce. Fairly sweet flavour with some fruit, and distinct piney / resinous hops throughout. Bitter finish and aftertaste.
Pint bottle from Bitter Virtue. Super IPA with a seriously hoppy finish. Excellent.

Cask at Beer Emporium, Bristol. Clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of malt, floral hops and caramel. Flavour is above moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with very soft carbonation.
568ml bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber with a one finger off-white head. Aroma: hoppy, resinous, citrus fruits, pine, malty, caramel. Taste: resinous, pine, citrus, tropical, good sweet malty base, caramel, marmaladey, bitter finish. Medium body and carbonation. Not the type of IPA I go for these days but very good nonetheless.
Belle couleur acajou pour cette IPA légèrement trouble avec une mousse fine ivoire qui disparaît assez vite. Nez à la hauteur des différents houblons qui la compose : Amarillo, Cascade, Chinook, Citra et Summit Expect, rien que ça ! On retrouve de beaux agrumes, autour du pamplemousse et de l’orange principalement, mais aussi les fleurs et du fruit en plus du malt : rose, jasmin, bergamote, verveine, ananas, abricot, pêche, caramel, sucre candi, cassonade, goyave, litchi, mangue, banane, chocolat au lait, amande, pain et croissant chauds... Nez extrêmement exquis, gourmand et complexe. Superbe. La carbonatation est moyenne, la texture ronde avec du corps, les sucres résiduels sont légers, la levure est nette avec des saveurs de sous-bois assez présentes, l’alcool efficace et l’amertume vive à l’attaque avec une très belle longueur. La bouche est plus classique et moins complexe que le nez mais révèle de belles flaveurs de malt et de céréales (orge et blé). Le final laisse une bonne mâche sur la langue, quelques sucres, les flaveurs de malts, les notes boisés et l’amertume lancinante. Une excellente IPA aux accents Américains brassée en Angleterre. Un duo gagnant quand il s’agit de faire de bonnes IPA... Bouteille 56.8cl, V&B Grenoble.
Dorata velata con ampia Schiuma a grana media. Aroma non eccezionale, al palato meglio con agrumi, frutta tropicale. Amarezza composta. Carbonazione media. Finale amarognolo. Ipa non giovane che soffre l’età.
Pours murky amber with small white head. Medium carbonation. Aromas of bread, malt and bitter hops, perhaps bitter oranges. Taste is citrus hop and pine with a decent malt backbone and a touch of grapefruit, perhaps nectarine. Good mouth feel with a big bitter finish and slight alcohol burn
Gravity Cask Third of a Pint at GBBF 2011 (Day 2), Earl’s Court, London Aug 2011 - Golden in colour. Very Hoppy; piney resinous oily and grassy hops. Very Fruity; grapefruit citrus, some tropical fruit, pineapple. Malty; sweet malts, honey. Good hop/fruit/malt balance. Liked this a lot. Lovely IPA! (2011-08-03)
Cask@In de Wildeman, Amsterdam; Appearance: hazy yellow with thin white foam; Aroma: hops, tropical fruit; Taste: malt, grapefruit, citrus; Palate: refreshing, medium bitter, low CO2; Overall: nice.
Pint bottle at home, 14th December 16. Pours Amber with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma is peach, citrus, floral. Taste is smooth, bitter, citrus, peach, sort of creamy palate. Lovely
From cask at In De Wildeman, as part of the "Real Ale Days". Aroma is fruity hops, sweetish caramel malt, tropical fruits, grapefruit. Flavour is moderate sweet and rather bitter. Body is medium. Nicely fruity hoppy with a sturdy malt backbone.
Bottle. Pours hazy amber. Strong grapefruit aroma with other citrus and marmalade. Taste has some sticky resinous sweetness up front with moderate bitter finish. Decent.
Backlog, ocena przepisana z untappd, w ramach uzupełniania profilu na ratebeer. Landrynki, skunks, tępa goryczka.
Nice mild smell (served cold) Taste is amazing, thick resiny texture, overipe fruits. Oh god the burp is tasty.
Keg at The Hop Inn, Newcastle-Under-Lyme. A clear amber colour with a medium off white head. Aroma of passion fruit, orange, some grapefruit, slight pine, a little caramel and subtle red berries. Taste of orange, grapefruit, resin, some passion fruit, slight caramel, a little fruit and subtle grassy hops. Medium bodied and an oily texture. A dry, slightly resinous, fruity hop bitterness in the finish. Surprisingly fruity but also quite bitter. A nice array of flavours but only average for an IPA.
In bottiglia. Colore oro scuro, da vetrato a opalescente. Bella testa bianco avorio, da soapy a cremosa/pannosa, di buona persistenza. Naso etilico di lievito, agrumi crespi, frutta tropicale più mascherata. Carbonazione flat. Aroma etilico, citrico, di lievito, agrumi crespi con la loro scorza, luppolo fruttato crespo, resina, uva e percezione di marmellata. Gusto amaro da medio a pieno, con leggera dolcezza etilica. Corpo da più che medio a pieno, trama oleosa abbastanza grassa. Finale nettamente amaro, ruvido, con bocca pulita. Alcool parecchio presente, che sacrifica un po’ gli elementi aromatici. Comunque ottimo l’IPA punch e la solidità, con una generale sensazione di buonissima qualità. Siamo di fronte ad una ottima IPA, concreta e di collaudata fattura.
