Great lighter ABV DIPA. Taste is a bit grassy, with mild citrus and quite big caramel malt sweetness. Citrus rind hops bitterness. I wish I had more of this.
Draft pour pint at Tipsy Cow, Woodinville. Listed at 8.8%. Classic double and a half IPA here. This was actually one of the first beers I ever tried. During my introduction to beer, it was a blonde, a hefe, and a big bitter beer, which was this one. It sure seems like Ninkasi has been around since the very beginning, yet I only ever get in on their beers during brewers nights at random places. The last time I had this particular beer was probably 6 years ago, in a pitcher, at a sports bar that doesn't even exist anymore. Good times. Golden orange pour, mostly clean. Aroma leans on malt, some caramel, a touch sweet. Flavor is quite a sharp bitter constant. Flavor presents some booze, but it's still a relatively smooth beer, all things considered. Something seperates Ninkasis IPAs grim all the rest, but I can't quite pinpoint what it is. I like it for sure, but my type of classic IPA preference might be a little different than most others, because this beer seems to be a legend here in the PNW. I'd enjoy this again for sure.
Bottle from Safeway. Clear amber. Nose is sweet caramel, pine, orange. Tastes bittersweet, boozy, caramel, citrus, pine, sweet malty.
Robe orangée, nez résineux et fruit de la passion. En bouche, l’amertume est bien présente, mais douce. Complémentée par des arôme de pin et d’ananas. Excellente buvabilité.
Good with spicy stuff. Not too heavy. Crisper than it looks. Was not a favorite originally but came around to it after double ipa's started getting HEAVY.
1 pint bottle. Pours a blood orange with a thin white head. Aroma: Citrus, passionfruit, grapefruit, papaya, pines notes. Mild biscuity malt. Taste: Citrus, biscuity malt, papaya, grapefruit, pine, peach flavours. Mild carbonation. Thin body. Moderate bitterness. Boozy. The bottle that I had wasn’t the freshest, and wasn’t particularly great, but I could imagine when fresh this would be a great beer.
My favorite IPA in the world when on tap. Deep rich taste; perfect mix of hops and body.
Rich copper coloured body with a two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of earthier hops with some nutty malt character and a noticeable yeast aroma as well. Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy and hop flavour with a dose of alcohol, some more subdued malt characteristics along with a great mellow-ish character showing some yeast, a hint of toffee and caramelised sugars and a grassy and earthy finish. Aftertaste is noticeable hoppy and bitter, but not as much as I expected, and perhaps showing more sweetness than I figured, but very low-key and balanced. Overall, a nice IPA that isn’t really ’Imperial’ by any means, but a decent beer nonetheless and worth trying if it isn’t horribly expensive. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia on 13-May-2017 for US$6,99 sampled at home on the Eastern Shore in Pungoteague, Virginia on my birthday, 30-June-2017.
Poured into a tulip a clear golden color with a minimal white head. No lacing on the glass at all. Aroma is citrus and malts. Initially rather sweet, then lightly bitter. Medium body, a bit creamy and with soft carbonation. Nothing special.
65cl fles. Helder oranje kleur, fijne romige crème schuimkraag. De geur van karamel en fruit. Smaak is zoet, grenen, tropisch fruit en licht citrus. Vol Lichaam, Veel koolzuur.
Pours a nice orange/amber with a decent off white head. Aroma is Spicy hops and grass. Taste is sweet caramel malt, buttered popcorn, pine cones, freshly mown grass and a pretty assertive bitterness. ABV warmth is evident after the swallow. Well balanced, but the hops dominate.
22 oz bottle. Thanks Timo A!
Clear orange color with a small white head.
Sweet tropical fruity hoppy aroma with a hefty amount of caramel malty sweetness.
The flavor is sweet caramel malt and sweet hoppy bitterness. Really sweet.
Purchased from a supermarket in Alexandria, DC whilst on business trip to the US in May 2017. A good example of the style.
Bottle; pours cloudy orange gold with an off white head; aroma of pine, caramel, and grapefruits; taste is bitter with pine, grapefruit, and caramel; dry, bitter piney finish
Cloudy amber/gold color; Medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of malt, earthy hops, some caramel, & fruit/citrus; Flavor of sweet malt, caramel, pine hops, tropical fruit, and citrus; Finish is dry & bitter; Nicely balanced; Pretty good.
An incredibly tasty double IPA. Bomber from a liquor store in Vegas. Great balance with mildly sweet maltiness and great hoppy citrus notes.
Pours a tinted orange, aroma of tropical fruits, apricot, sweet. Much the same on the tongue with honey and a little booze.
Strong hop, orange color, grapefruit and floral hops. Price point on bomber and taste are key for this purchase. Less than $7.
Bomber - Bright orange color with a small head. Grapefruit and citrus orange. Rich medium body. Average dry finish.
Jak na moc i ilość IBU, to bardzo przyjemne, ułożone i dobre do picia. Intensywnie cytrusowe, a jednocześnie z mocną słodową kontrą.
Draft Third of a Pint at GBBF 2011 (Day 2), Earl’s Court, London Aug 2011 - Deep Gold in colour. Very Hoppy; piney resinous and earthy hops. Fruity; grapefruit citrus and some tropical fruit. Malty; toasty malts, caramel. Good hop/fruit/malt balance. Hoppy fruity meets sweet malty. Nice smooth, easy drinking DIPA. (2011-08-03)
Bottle, 650ml. Clearish orange with sediment. Aromas of fruity hops, pine, light caramel. Medium to robust bodied, soft carbonation. Dry and astringent. Lightly sweet, medium to heavy bitter. Harsh bitter flavors into a punishing finish.

Tasty
On tap at Golden Gate Tap Room. Great example of the style, dank with hoppiness.
Clear golden, minimal white head. Deep pine, grapefruit. A bit of dankness. Quite bitter. Oily, medium body. Long finish. Pretty okay.
TAP. Lively golden pour with bubbly white head..
Easy soft, sweet hoppy nose..Quick easy golden malt body, goes to hops very quickly, big piney vibe, finishing bitter citrus hops.. Sourced ninkasi
On tap at Stout, NYC on 12-Nov-2016. Clear golden colour with a small white head. Aroma of citrus, sweet malt and pine. Medium body and carbonation. Lovely grapefruit hoppy taste, with caramel, malt and sweet tropical fruit. Bittersweet finish with a slight alcohol burn. Crisp as a Winters evening. A really well balanced double IPA. Lovely.
Celebrating a hard fought win in soccer for the little one and some progress on the fence with this nice beer poured from a growler picked by the wife. Good choices on both.
This actually seemed less bitter than their Total Domination. Then again, maybe Total Domination finally killed off my taste buds. Overall, I just don’t like IPAs, but this is at least one of the better ones I have had. The high alcohol content definitely doesn’t hurt.
Bottle. Strong grapefruit and lemon aroma. Cloudy bronze in colour with a thin off-white head. Strong and sharp hoppy bitterness with some underlying malts. Medium bodied with a touch of warming alcohol. Good IPA.
