Autumn IPA
Peak Organic Brewing Company

Best By: 4\12/24.

Appearance: Pours a lightly hazy, pale yellow body - effervescent - with a medium-sized, inspissated, white head.

Smell: Citrusy, tropical nose atop a rather thin, modest, mollified maltiness vaguely hinting of crustless bread and grain.

Taste: Light, stray-strewn malts with a diminished maltiness akin to many a shop-worn session beer. As with the aroma, it's citrus and tropical fruits, but those flush out quickly, too, leaving some scant sweetness and low bitterness to trail after them. A meager morsel of faintly sweet dough and a teensy shot of fruit juice on the thinning finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation.

Overall: It is what it is.

 

 

 

12oz can. Cloudy, burnt orange with one finger of foam head. Smells like a Vienna lager. Tastes of orange zest and caramel. Light body with some dryness but not really bitter. An easy-drinking, malt-forward pale ale with citrusy hops. Comes across, to me, like a hybrid Red Ale/AIPA. Good session ale.

Very foamy pour, but tight. Less hazy than it is murky; there are a lot of suspended particles. Rather nice color between a 3 and a 6 on the SRM scale.
The aroma is light; grass or clover notes plus some sweetness. Not much of a hop profile.
The first sip is all bitter. The lack of alcohol and body is apparent, but it is by no means watery.
A very persistent aftertaste but a very pleasant one. Surprisingly good.

Nice head and lace with a hazy golden body. Tropical fruit and herbal hops run the nose. Taste is balanced and juicy and full of flavor, especially considering the low octane. Mouthfeel is a touch thin and the aftertaste doesn't have the staying power but overall, I could see this being a fall stalwart for the flavor and crushability.

 

 

 

 

A delicious easy drinking beer. Malt has
enough toasted and grainy notes to give an autumnal slant to the flavor and body of the brew. Hop compliment is full and dry. Clean finish and dry crisp feel. Super drinkable and a great session beer. My fall grilling go to brew.

 

Two 12 oz. cans poured into a clear glass liter mug produces a nearly full vessel, thanks to an abundant fluffy white head. Surprisingly little remains as glass lacing. Very little aroma wafts from the opened cans, nor the wide mouth of the mug. Despite a fine clean and dry hop taste, Autumn IPA feels of less body than a commercial American Lager. For an IPA, this drinks more like a hopped up lager. That hoppy character redeems its shortcomings.

 

 

 

Drank from a 12 ounce can.

Appearance: cloudy honey in color, nice 1” head, good lacing.

Smell: mild hoppy, subtle grapefruit.

Taste: mild hoppy and smooth.

Mouth Feel: medium carbonated, medium thin, very smooth.

A very drinkable beer. I would purchase again.

Pours orange gold. Big foam. Bold hop aroma. Bright and citrusy. Pretty bland in the middle. Bitter hop finish. Almost but not quite.
