IPA Of The Month : October 2015 (Hops)
Foothills Brewing Company - Downtown Brewpub

Pours a cloudy orange with a bright white head.

The smell is oranges, lemon, grapefruit.

The taste is orange, earth, floral hops, grapefruit and lemon.

The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation.

Overall a very good ipa, I've enjoyed all the IPA's of the month I've had so far.

 

 

From the bomber into a 0.5L Pilsner glass.

A- Pours a hazy orange color. Head is massive, creamy white that takes some time to fade. Leaves behind some lacing.
S- Aroma is full of hops; fruity and juicy
T- Melon, tinge of pine, and a bit of a butter note that flashes in
M- Creamy, medium bodied. Even with the super tall head, carbonation wasn't outrageous.
O- My first Foothills IPA of the month (received as an extra from a recent trade), and, man, I was impressed.

 

Hazy orange color with off-white head. Aroma is intense and fresh, a bit minty. Starts a bit sweet but really hoppy with dill, chive and mint notes. Sorachi Ace hops are really evident. Has also a buttery note but not in a bad way. Very complex hop profile making the beer really interesting.

 

 

 

Opaque orange color beneath a thick creamy head. Smells heavy on the Citra - fresh papayas, apricots, lemons, and flowers with a grassy, herbal edge. Flavor is sugary mangos, melons, and tangerines along with a little green herbal zestiness. A little better than medium bodied and lighter on the carbonation finishing dry. Very ripe and fragrant.

1 pt 6 fl oz bomber poured into an IPA Glass.

A - Pours a hazy golden orange, three finger fluffy white head.

S - Melons, papaya, orange

T - Tropical fruit, some butter notes, grass and pine. There is some juice to item and the bitterness in medium.

M - Carbonation is medium low ,mouthfeel is moderately full.

O - A tasty IPA, but curious as to where the butter notes are coming from.

 

 

Bottled on 9/29/15.Pours into an imperial nonic a hazed tangerine color with a thick billowing white head that settles very slowly into a frothy mass.Juicy fruity hops in the nose,alot of grapefruit and tangerine,slight grassiness underneath,a hop explosion.A fuller but lightly carbonated feel,goes down very easy.The palate is alot like the nose big juicy hops,tangerine and orange (tangelo?)and lighter grapefruit,a sweet caramel/biscuit base is there but I will say it never gets to sweet.An alcohol good tasting Tang?Maybe but damn it's good,maybe the best IPA of the Month I have had from Foothills and I have only missed a few over the past two years.
