F5 IPA
COOP Ale Works

 

From a can. Light amber color with foamy cream head. Grapefruit aroma. Medium body with a sticky feel. Earthy with grapefruit and pine flavors. West Coast style

Solid IPA here. Had a draft version at a watering hole in Norman OK. Pours a beautiful light amber color with a sufficient, foamy topping of about 2 fingers.

Aroma is citrusy with a tiny bit of pine. Grapefruit and a touch of lemon. Really good flavors. A little in the sweeter side but certainly not overly so. A real treat!

12oz can. Bottom date stamp has canning date of '11/26/24', about seven weeks in the can.
Nearly clear, pale gold colored body. One finger of tight bubble, white colored head, which becomes a thin cap and higher ring. Leaves behind a thick lacing pattern of small spots.
Aroma of citrus and pine.
Taste blooms with bitterness, with flavors of grapefruit citrus, grapefruit pith, and pine needles. Aftertaste stays bitter with the pine and rind. Gets earthy and woody from the middle on.
Medium mouthfeel. Finishes dry with bitterness. Very good carbonation.
Emphasis on the bitterness with this one.

 

 

 

 

 

I had this beer on-tap in a can glass at Hatch in the OKC airport.

Appearance: rich orange hue with a dash of haze and a thick finger of pillowy ivory foam. Great!

Smell: citrusy, earthy hops with a bit of sweetness to the malt. I like it.

Taste: a bit sweet with a good dose of piney and citrusy hops. Bitterness is robust! A pretty classic old school IPA.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: a totally solid IPA.

Nice color, retentive head, perfect hoppy taste. Excellent example of an IPA from Oklahoma. Can drink this all day. Prost!

Here at the Famous Hideaway Pizza in Bartlesville and this was the best beer on two here, ratingswise. Indeed, this was worth its ranking on here as it was as good as the brews I had when out on the left coast on this trip!

This had a lovely copper hue to it as it was topped off with a full head of foam that never fully settled down. Wondrous rings of lacing were left behind as each was well-defined and easily bled down to the next, in the pint glass that this was served in. Dank citrus, pine, and earthy hops were in the nose as there was lemon, orange rind, and deep forest on the palate. Some caramel and tea spice emerged once this fully warmed up as this was enjoyable and impressively good for a brew from these parts!

Somewhat oily and sticky, this had a full body to it and enough carbonation to keep it tingly on my teeth throughout my session. The alcohol was present, as I warmed up throughout my time with this, but it was never easily noticeable. Loved this beer from start to finish as it’s worth looking out for when here in the Sooner State!

 

When poured from a can there is a nice 1/4 inch head. A slightly turbulent amber appearance. There are malt and notes of citrus and pine flavor. Smooth and subtle but with an abv of 7.1 it will jump kick you quick !
A very smooth and full IPA.
Enjoy!
