Field Day IPA
BJ's Restaurants & Brewery

RB transfer

Straw to gold, with a hint of copper. Loose head develops but tapers off a bit fast for style.
Nose presents some zesty lime and tangerine before making way some peach and maybe some guava. Very bright.
Flavor is nice and green in its delivery of the citrus, peach, and mildly tropical leaning notes. Finishes a a tad bitter as lime, grass, and guava.
Mouthfeel is a tad thin.

 

Pours golden copper with nice thick 1-1/2”H white fluffy foamy cap (quickly fading) from tall can BJ’s beer club. Notes of fresh hopped Indian Pale Ale make this standard bitter hop forward IPA a nice semi-local brew choice from BJ’s Reno Nevada at 5.7% ABV and 65 IBU with “7 hops contribute fresh and pungent flavors of juicy tropical fruit and resinous pine. Hops: Bravo, Comet, fresh picked Idaho 7.

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a 22 fl oz bottle on August 2, 2018. Juicy, bright and full to the brim with Citra hop aroma. This easy drinking West Coast IPA starts clean and finishes with quenching notes of mandarin and tangerine. So have a field day with us. Enjoy today's adventure, down to the last citrusy drop.

 

Clear yellow-amber brew with a modest supply of foam in the New Belgium glass. It's a light IPA that features the Citra hop. Clean woodsy smell with the citrus note. Some malty sweetness.

Flavor is lemon and orange peel with a dose of mango. Hints of cedar wood and candy. Moderate bitterness with a stronger bitter aftertaste. Not my favorite Citra-hopped IPA but it's a crisp and drinkable hoppy brew. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Central Market in Shoreline.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On tap at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse in Aurora, CO; poured into a pokal.
Appearance - gold, no noticeable carbonation bubbles; thin, white head that leaves surprisingly superb lacing.
Smell - faint earthy hops with some biscuit-like malt notes.
Taste - fairly balanced hop/malt profile, however, fairly underwhelming.
Feel - for an ale that comes across balanced in taste and in the nose, the feel is decidedly hop forward!
Overall - enjoyable, but nothing that separates it from other IPA's.

On tap at BJ's in Sacramento, CA.

Described as a fresh hop IPA.

Pours a clear honey orange with a foamy tan head that settles to a small cap on top of the beer. A foamy curtain of lace coats the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, citrus zest, herbal hop, and slight metallic aromas. Taste is much the same with citrus zest, earth, and slight herbal hop flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer with a nice balance of citrus and herbal hop aspects all around.

Serving type: on tap.
