English IPA
BJCP Style: 14A. English IPA
ABV: 7.1%
IBU: 55
Bottled
Tasting on: 10/21/14
Glass: Craft Pint
Aroma: An unusual canned pineapple aroma with some yeast present as well 6/10
Appearance: Hazy with orange tones in the middle and yellow tones along the edges. Off-white head. 7/10
Taste: The beginning and middle have a low, odd sweetness along with barely noticeable malt and bitterness. The end has notes of orange but is hurt by unbalanced hops. A strange mix of tropical flavors and alcohol combine to make the aftertaste unpleasant. 7/20
Mouthfeel: Creamy at times with a medium-medium light body. Properly carbonated. 6/10
Overall Impression: Odd and surprisingly not bitter, with unbalanced flavors throughout. A weak malt backbone and a poor hop profile make this beer one to avoid. 17/50
Final Score: 43%
