On tap at MBCC Yellow Session. Pours a hazy brown with small off white head. The aroma is citrus, earth, pine. Slick body, pine, citrus, earthy malt, bitter finish, good.
The aromas are onion, oxidized hops, wet grain and pale malt. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, no fresh hops mildly bittersweet with good carbonation. from the score I thought it was going to be really good but it's a real disappointment.
16 fl.oz can. A slightly hazy amber beer with a off-white head. Aroma of cinnamon, strong resinous hops, spruce, reddish malt. Taste of dry resinous bitter hops, some cinnamon and pumpkin spices, caramel, redddish malt, some grapefruits, long bitter finish.
West Coast style IPA by this craft brewery in St. Louis, Missouri, apparently their first ever brew, hopped with Simcoe and Columbus. Can of half a year old, but for a West Coast IPA this shouldn't be too dramatic. Creamy, mousy, eggshell-white, fairly thick but slowly dissipating head, leaving an intricate pattern of flat islands and a steady ring over an initially very lightly hazy, warm 'metallic' amber-hued orange blonde beer with lively visible sparkling, misty with sediment. Aroma of grapefruit, dried orange peel, old garlic (Simcoe!), toasted onion, barbecue spices, pine resin, dry biscuit, cheese crackers, tamarillo, fried tomato peel, dry old marijuana, pink peppercorns, wormwood. Clean onset, low fruity hints of dried apricot, hard green melon and tamarillo, minerally but refined carbonation, slick oily body; bit resinous, smooth biscuity and cracker-like 'dryish' maltiness, mildly nutty, evolving into a piney, oily hop bitter finish, very grapefruit peel-, cedar oil- and eventually quinine-like, long lasting bitterness with a peppery dryness to it, yet still remaining a bit juicy as well. I was fearing for another New England fruity IPA but I am glad that what I got here, is a very classically styled West Coast IPA indeed, with all that lovely oily bitterness, grapefruitiness and piney aspects I remember from the many American IPAs I had five to ten years ago before that juicy IPA fad came along. It's good to look back every now and then, especially when this type of 'old school IPA' is as skilfully executed as is the case here. Love it - and that cartoonish artwork on the label too...
