Interurban is bitter as an IPA should be yet balanced with copious aroma and flavor hops.

Poured from a 12 ounce can into a tulip glass at 50 degrees.
Look- Pale gold, plentiful small visible particulate, very hazy, white sudsy head, above average head retention and lacing.
Smell- Clementine, pine, floral, between medium and high strength of scent.
Taste- Pine, clementine, between weak and medium strength of flavor.
Feel- Medium body, average carbonation, high bitterness, moderate lingering astringency, moderate creaminess, mildly mouth warming, moderately dry finish.
Overall- Appearance was outstanding, just what I would want for the style. The nose was a pleasant mix of citrus, pine and floral notes. The flavor was a mix of clementine and pine, but had low intensity. Feel was as expected for the style, but had quite a bit of astringency and a drier finished than expected. Overall this beer provided an enjoyable experience, but was slightly below average for the style.

Pours a golden amber color with a medium head that stays for a little while. The aroma is grapefruit and stone fruit with a hint of malt. kind of a dank bitterness in the middle and finishes with a slightly dry bitterness. Quite good. 80 IBUs Rated 3-16-2023

Tap pour at the beer garden. Served chilled in a goblet.
Dark gold colored body. White head dissipates quickly. Leaves behind lacing webs.
Aroma is faint with hop citrus and pine.
Taste is more toward the bitter side. Some citrus pith and pine bough resin. Some dankness. Bitterness is considerable and exists throughout, including the aftertaste.
Medium mouthfeel. Some tongue numbing. Good carbonation.
Fits the WCIPA style.

a west coast IPA
Light amount of creamy white head. Medium amber appearance. Rather light amount of medium light toasted caramel malt, with an equal amount of floral perfumed hops, for the aroma. Medium light bodied. Fairly biting, grapefruit peel and a little medium toasted malt, for the taste. A not very biting, grapefruit peel flavor, for the finish.

Pours a fairly clear light amber with thick, fluffy head.
Smell is fruity and a bit sweet and dank. Notes of melon, peach, gummy candy, pineapple and vanilla.
Taste is fruity and crisp with a clean, moderate bitterness. Notes of melon, grapefruit, peach pine and a bit of sweetness. Great balance, and insanely drinkable.
Mouthfeel is medium, sticky and well carbonated.
Overall, a great IPA, well made and easy to drink.

12oz can poured into a Sam Adams PP. Beer pours out golden and nearly clear with a huge fluffy head. Moderate malt presence with west coast vibes of grapefruit and pine. Smooth and hoppy with a pop of present bitterness in a somewhat grassy sense. Floral notes of citrus and fruity rind. Overall a very decent traditional IPA.
