3.5 Color amarillo anaranjado, con una ligera neblina. Dos dedos de espuma con retención media. Aroma cítrico y a pino. Gusto a malta, ligero caramelo, pomelo, pino, ligera resina, amargor media. Cuerpo acuoso. IPA de manual, sin nada que destaque pero sin puntos negativos.
3.8 Quite good, right bitterness, dry ending. Like it more than other reviews would suggest. Easy to drink, nice colour. Bottle from M&S January 2019.
3.2 Bottle. BB Jun 2019; Drank Dec 2018 - Clear gold with a medium white head. Fruity; grapefruit citrus, peel. Hoppy; light hop bitterness, grass. Mildly spicy; peppery. Malty; bready malts, grainy, caramel. Sweet-bitter citrus fruity hoppy throughout. Ends bitter. OK. Drinkable. (2018-12)
3.8 This was one of the first really good US craft beers I remember drinking on tap, 20-odd years ago. In bottle now, it's pale brown with a thin head and an enticing citrus, pine and toasted caramel aroma. A firm pithy and resinous bitterness rides on a dry-sweet malty body, lingering dry and bitter on the finish.
2.3 355ml from bottle at The Sheaf. I really didn't like this one, it is very far from the bottle's description. Bitter, malty, and some hoppiness towards the end. Highly forgivable
3.5 Bottle at home bought from local supermarket in the UK. Pour clear had flavours of pine a decent bitterness to the beer. Nice
4.2 Ótima IPA recomendo. Formação de espuma média. Aroma cítrico. Sabor cítrico herbáceo. Com Retrogosto amargo, uma ótima drinkability.
3.2 Bottle 355 ml ABV 6.2 % from M&S, Turnham Green. Aroma is floral with hints of bread, caramel, citrus and hay. Pours amber body with slight haze and a white head. Taste is malts, caramel, floral notes, some breadiness. Enjoyable.
3.9 Bottle. Bronze with a small head which is virtually non existent. Surprisingly malty for an IPA.A very pleasant beer that stands out for me. Its also a new brewery and a new state for me. Thanks Marks and Spencers-I love you.
3.0 Butelka. Bursztynowy ,klarowny, opalizujący kolor. Piana biała ,średnia ,opada szybko. Aromat dość mydlany,owoce tropikalne,słód i ciastka....mało tutaj tak obiecywanego chmielu. W smaku nadal przodują słodkie owoce tropikalne,trochę liczi ,moreli. Wszystko o średnim wysyceniu i oleistej teksturze. Mimo,że w smaku pojawiają się już dość bardziej wyraźnie chmiele to piwo nadal jest mdłe i mydlane...pijalne... ale nie wroce
3.2 Pretty normal IPA. It’s bitter it has some malt, but not particularly remerable.
3.1 6/9/18 With A watching Westworld and dexter eating foil boil. Light copper with a medium white head. Nose is sweet biscuit malt and subdued hops. Taste follows with sweet bready malt and just a touch of floral hops. Wouldn’t have guessed IPA from the flavor profile alone. Quite sweet. Almost no bittterness. Med-light palate with sweet bread coming through. Overall, drinkable but unremarkable IPA. Tastes more like a sweet lager than an IPA. Not hoppy at all but tasty nonetheless.
1.0 Tunkkainen ja yrttinen ipa
2.8 12 ounce bottle found in a variety pack. The final dry-hop has made this beer more malty than hoppy. Nice color but no hint of hops and bitters associated with a traditional ipa. Better in the mid-fall season.
5.0 Muito boa, gostosa de sabor marcante, apesar do teor alcoólico ser um pouco mais alto não afetou no sabor.
3.5 Aroma of fruits, pine and hints of malt, caramel and grass. Golden with a white head. Medium sweet and medium bitter. Medium body with a average carbonation. Dry and slightly bitter finish. Overall a decent IPA, more balanced than some IPAs tend to be. Quite enjoyable.
3.7 Typical IPA in all respects aside from the fact that this particular IPA is very mild. IBU seems lower than is usual for an IPA. Very good beer, the palate is intricate and interesting. Its nice having an IPA that doesn't always load up on the IBUs, worth tasting just to experience it.
2.7 Aroma: grass, earthy hops. Taste: malt, citrus and notes of grass. Bitter but rather waterly
3.6 This beer isn’t perfect by any means but as it stands right now the rating is 10/100, which is ludicrous. It is a pretty good ipa. Has a nice mildly roasted sweet malt backed with a piney hop finish. Can presence and taste remind me of the Pacific Northwest.
4.5 Linda cor e efervescência. Translúcida. Pecou na formação de creme. O aroma é a Estrela desta cerveja. Cítrico e resinoso numa bela mistura. Ótima intensidade. Sabor forte, bom amargor e bem balanceado. Bastante resinoso. Final mais forte do que eu gosto. Boa densidade. Desce muito bem.
2.8 I love ipa's and I love Seattle's red hook brewery. That being said- this brew is lacking. Not very hoppy. Nice malt flavor though. Nothing special. I prefer their other ipa's
3.3 Bottle from master of malt. Gold decent head and lacing soft tropical fruits hoppt bitter finish a safe ipa.
3.3 average creamy frothy white head. good lacing. mostly diminishing. clear, dark-yellow body. Aroma: light malty, moderate hoppy, herbs, pine. Initial flavor: light sweet bitter. Final flavor: light sweet moderate bitter; long duration. Palate: light medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, metallic finish. amargor caráter de pinho, floral e herbal, dulçor maltado, ipa na média, sem diferenciais nem defeitos. 60 s
1.8 Pours clear, light golden with thick head. Aroma is hops and light citrus. Taste is bitter hops with a faint note of caramel lurking. Finish is hoppy. It's an IPA, alright.
3.1 Bottle (backlog 2014). Clear golden body with a medium sized, dense off-white head. OK fruity aroma of peach and tropical fruit with just a hint of malt. Flavor is quite plain and basic mild IPA with fruit like aroma, mild malt, hint of caramel and some fruity bitterness. Medium body and moderate aftertaste. Easy drinkable, pretty straight forward.
2.8 Dead caramel and peach aroma. Hazy golden color. Sweet caramel taste with some hoppy notes. Medium body, average carbonation.
3.1 Backlog rating. Pours a clear gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Citrus on the nose with pine and caramel notes. Bitter on the finish with a lingering pine character, overripe citrus.
2.4 12 oz. bottle. Pours pale gold with a white head. Aroma is caramel malt with faint citrus. Taste is similar. Very boring and bland for an IPA.
2.1 Backlog. Zapach słodki tropikalne owoce i jakaś taka sosna i ziołowość ale to była mieszanka która zawodziła. Smak podobnie nic miłego. Słodka mieszanka biszkoptowego ciała z tropikalnymi owocami podobnie jak w zapachu melon i jakieś słodkie liczi. Finisz ziołowy, przyprawowy - suchy
3.8 Som en IPA skal være. Tør og frugtagtig i det. helt klart en amerikansk version.
