Fathom IPL
Ballast Point Brewing Company

Pours a gorges straw colored body beneath the rocky, pure white head which slowly dissolves leaving a scattered sticky lacing in its wake.

Awesome aroma, featuring intense citrus hops including apricot, orange, and possibly peach with pine notes as well and pale malts to close.

Delicious flavors resembling the nose. Apricot and citrus orange as well as pine needle hops. Again, I believe the malt to be pale or crystal, more towards the pilsner style thAn German Lager. Incredible flavor.

Unreal mouthfeel. So much flavor in such a crisp, clean beer, all the mouthfeel aspects of an Imperial Pilsner, medium to light in body with generous carbonation, yet the flavors of an Anerican IPA.

I like this beer way more than the avg rating. I'm blown away by the Abu dant, clean hop profiles accompanied by the pilsner like body. Nailed it.

Pint from draft at their location in Long Beach/Seal Beach for an absurd $9 but I guess that’s standard SoCal now. A properly smooth hoppy beer. Body and feel of a lager with plenty of hop character to meet the style expectations.

355 ml can, from the Norwegian importer. ABV is 7,0%. Golden colour, huge white head. Aroma of piney and citrussy American hops, some spicy hints. Medium sweet and dull flavour, not as crisp as I expected it. Bordering on "bland", the hops are not nearly as dominant as expected.

 

De color dorado, con cuerpo y carbonatación media. Aroma cítrico y herbáceo. En boca se siente cítrica y dulce pero perfectamente equilibrada.

 

 

Very good beer, I recomend it. Good with some salty snacks or in a jacuzzi

One notch better than Fathom IPA. Also good approachable everyday IPA.
Love the brewer. Nicely made - this creamy IPL at 7% ABV. Would love to blind test in a series of hoppy IPLs as it's always a crisp on the hop theme. Will try again if I can find it
a) Pours bright golden clear body with... 1 finger white head with ample density, last, and lace as with all brews from BP.
s) Solid aroma of light malt first then piney hops, lemon, citrus, then a long, malty, dry bread shop aroma.
t) Very grounded in the malt and bread with layers of tropical fruit: Lemon marmalade, citrus, piney hops, all balanced and drinkable.
f) Well-carbonated sporting crisp, mid weight, good feel, but a creamy finish.
o) Clearly a power IPL. And I'm coming back for more, could be a regular. Drinkable, balanced, good with food and friends.
