Dry Hopped India Pale Ale
Green Man Brewery

 

amber pour was a touch cloud and capped by a wonderful light light of white that reached a height of around of two inches before dropping down with copious amounts of side glass lacing. Rich and biting citrus hops across the nose, bitter with a sweet orange peel like zest to it. Super smooth flavor here with a nice medium bodied feel and more then ample carbonation. The biting hop note mellowed mid palate as some nice balancing came into play with light buttery like malts and a light hint of grain

Poured a hazy burnt orange with a creamy-like white head,nice hopped up aromas pine dominates with notes of citrus and minty herb underneath.A real nice caramel doughy sweet malt base is noted here underneath a healthy doe of hop flavors quite resiny with big pine notesfinishing citrusy and herbal.A nice big IPA something Iam always looking for this didnt dissapoint well rounded with great hop character.

The beer arrived on the bar cloudy medium amber golden with a low, yet frothy, head which lasted from start to finish to lace the glass.

The aroma was piney and resinous with a strong citrusy presence. The hoppy aroma was coupled with a very nicely achieved aroma from the malt and caramel. The hops even gave the aroma a spicy character. An excellent IPA aroma!

The flavor was a nice malt backbone with a strong caramel presence, yet still very crisp. The piney and resinous hop character was well done and very fresh.

The finish was dry with lasting hop cone flavor long and pleasantly into the aftertaste and beyond. The body was just above medium and the mouthfeel was slightly creamy. A truly great IPA.

Pint at Dirty Jacks. According to the brewer, this is the IPA recipe beefed up to 7.4% from 6% and now dry hopped with leaf hops. The other IPA was certainly English in style and this one may be as well, but the piney and citrusy character led me to believe it was American in style.
