Young Squeezy IPA
10 Barrel Brewing Co.

Three 12oz bottles from an assortment pack purchased at Total Wine in Lynnwood, Washington.
Bottles are dated 01/OCT/19. Served in a pint glass.

Look- Hazy, golden yellow color. Decent off-white head that recedes fairly quickly. Leaves a nice amount of lacing. Minimal amount of carbonation visible in the glass.

Smell- Sweet oranges and lemon, mango, melon, pineapple and bready maltiness, moderate pine and dank.

Taste- Taste follows the aroma. Lots of hop action, new school and juicy, with minimal bitterness.

Feel- Light bodied, balanced, plenty of carbonation, semi-dry but smooth.

O- A respectable take on a NE IPA, a bit lighter than the standard, but very refreshing and tasty.

Hazy yellowish brew but with a big ball of sticky foam in the Belle-Vue Gueuze glass. Aroma is orange and juniper needles with an odd mustiness. Lemon rind taste. Very citrusy. Starts out moderately bitter and quite dry. Then bitter aftertaste is a little too endless. Grapefruit pith. From the 12 oz bottle purchased at a Northwest supermarket. I think this is weakest brew of the four in the mixed 12-pack.

 

From a can with a BB date of May 20th; reviewed on May 4th. As promised, pours a murky yellow with a tight off-white head. Heavy lacing. Dominant aroma of pine and citrus, unmistakable West Coast style. For the style, the beer is lighter And drier than others, which is a nice change of pace. A solid bitterness of course, not tongue-curling. Very drinkable, with good carbonation and balanced mouthfeel. We're not hug fans of the "hazy" trend, but this ale is ok in our book.

 

Hazy gold with three fingers of white head. Rings of lace as the liquid level drops.
Smell is fruity hops with some bready malts.
Taste is mild fruity hops with a lessor amount of malts.
mouthfeel is light to medium with good carbonation. Finish is lightly dry and balanced.
Overall a tasty but light IPA.
