Hipp Check
Big Wood Brewery

A - Pours out a clear, dark bronze, with a substantial off white head that fades to a substantial cap, lots of ropey lacing.

S - A straight ahead ice tea nose, lemon over a tannic tea bite. Some floral hop notes, and a touch of honey sweetness.

T - The taste is not as sweet, with the tea note coming forward, a sharp bitter bite that floats over the honey malt notes, a bit of lemon that comes out through the middle fades to pith and less descript bitterness in the close.

M - Decent carbonation with moderate weight and a bit of residual build in the close. Not a multi-beer drinker, but not unpleasant.

O - This is a flash back to old school IPAs, mostly of the East Coast variety, with big malt and bitter bite mingling to a pleasant, if not particularly original conclusion.

Pours a mostly clear golden amber color with a one finger white head . Smell has citrus,grapefruit and caramel malts . Taste id fruity,hoppy malty and bitter , citrus ,pine and grapefruit notes . Mouth feelis hoppy and finishes with malt and pine semi bitter .
