No Socks IPA
Old Forge Brewing Company

On tap at the brewery earlier this afternoon.

Crystal clear golden body, decent white head, scattered lacing. Tropical aroma. On tasting, old school bitterness on top of a nice malt base. Finish is lastingly bitter in a good way.

Overall, pleasant surprise here, the fierce bitterness was enjoyed by this old palate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured into a a half pint glass: color is straw gold, transparent, nearly clear, good effervescence, head with fine to small bubbles and an off white color. Head lingers as a thin top and laces the glass sides.

Smell is well blended citrus and earth with a hint of pine, neutral pale malt.

Taste is similar to the aroma: citrus/earth/pine hops, more malt with light toast, solid bitterness.

Mouthfeel is crisp, bitter, moderate lingering bitter/crisp flavor on the tongue.

Overall a good beer, solid DIPA - but does not have standout features/flavors/presence.
