To be quite honest, I wasnt expecting much from this beer. And to be downright cruel about it, I followed Clinton Streets IPA with a Pelican IPA and Clinton Street just couldnt go toe to toe with the champ.
But I was pleasantly surprised by this beer and got much more from it than I anticipated. It started with a pockmarked, sudsy head and lemon-floral aroma. The taste was laden with piney hop character and a solid bite of bittering that takes us to the edge while not pushing us over it. It was unusually dark for an IPA a rust-pumpkin color with minimal clarity.
As with Clintons dunkelweizen, CO2 was lacking, perhaps from being shortchanged by the expulsion CO2 at the bar and not from the beer itself. And the lack of lace may have been from a tainted glass.
But this was a very agreeable beer clean and credible. And brewed incidentally, by a guest homebrewer who goes by the handle Captured By Porches.
