Irie IPA
Tighthead Brewing Company

Not bad. Darker colored, bronze color with mild head and lacing. Slightly malty with light citrus scents. Malty and bitter flavors, very little in the way of anything else. Lighter to medium bodied, crisp finish, slightly mouth watering. Old school style IPA.

 

16 oz can canned 6/12/24 into a Becker glass.
L: SRM 10 Pours a murky medium dark apricot color with very steady lush carbo, a 1/4" domed creamy off white head that has excellent retention, medium thick random complex lacing with some banding.
S: Caramelized malts, cereal grains, citrus, grapefruit, lightly floral, a hint of alcohol with warming.
T: Moderately tropical taste, melon, a good dose of pine resin, melon, caramelized malts esp with warming, grapefruit zest, cereal grains, a hint of Froot Loops, It is hop frwd, fairly full-flavored and is lightly intense. I get a very light trace of alcohol with warming.
F: Brisk with luster and plush with a spacious center that is medium bodied very lightly gritty mouthfeel with a long and moderately broad lingering medium-dry finish. It is a little bit juicy.
O: This ale has a large, bold, and strong taste with a firm mouthfeel. It delivers a punch and is pregnant with resin. Its overall profile could be compared to or lightly shadows 3F Zombie Dust yet the 100 IBUs and 7.8% ABV of Irie IPA has much more power. It is very good to excellent in its style.

 

From a tall aluminum can, this beer is a copper-gold color with some haze and a sticky white head. The aroma has a pine and citrus front, with some must underneath. The taste is balanced, with lots of hop flavor…dense and flavorful. Full in body. I enjoyed this one.

Pours a clear pale orange, soft white head fades quickly leaving a bit of lacing. Snot factory says pine, citrus, taste buds agree, solid malty backbone. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice copper color with a light tan head, this old school IPA has nice citrus and pine notes on the nose and a substantial caramalt note as well.

The hops are up front on the taste and the caramalt eases this into a nice balanced finish. Very good old school IPA that edges toward DIPA territory.

 

Unknown vintage; drank 3/18/16.

Semi-opaque orange appearance.

A rough pour yielded a big off-white head; a curtain of frothy tree-rung lace.

Blood orange, banana & faint caramel notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Blood orange flavor up front; dry pine & faint caramel notes on the finish.

Simple & a bit dry; somewhat enjoyable.

 

16oz can. Poured a clear, golden amber color with a small, tan head of khaki-colored foam. It smelled roasted malt, toast and pine. Very malt-forward IPA with a bitter piney hop bite.
