Roll Out IPA
Pipeworks Brewing Co.

22 ounce bottle into a snifter. Bottled 4/28/17, had 5/29/17.

Pours a lightly cloudy pale orange, with a half inch foamy head and some soapy lacing. Smells of citrus and tropical hops-mango, guava, pineapple, papaya, some grapefruit and lime, light malt and yeast, some caramel when warm. The taste continues the citrus/tropical theme- mango, pineapple, papaya, lime, malt, some caramel, a little earthy. Smooth, dry, a touch creamy, a good lighter to medium body, well carbonated.

Liked this more than I expected. The Cashmere hops are very expressive, complex flavors and aromas, well balanced between the hops and malt. Great effort.

 

 

 

 

22 oz. Bomber

Poured into a tulip a very nice hazy dark golden yellowish color, very nice carbonation, with a very nice thick/creamy one-finger off-white head, which also leaves some really nice creamy sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with some nice citrus (mangoes, orange, tangerine), slight pine. The taste is really nice, hoppy, slightly malty, pretty nice citrus (mangoes, orange, tangerine), some pine notes. Medium body, ABV hidden very well, nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, a pretty tasty brew.

 

Poured into my Pipeworks NvU snifter. Cloudy darker orange gold with thick foamy head and lacing. Has an aroma reminiscent of Australian/NZ hops and a kind of pizza spice quality. Taste is mildly bitter hops, not citrusy but some sort of fruit presence. Mild creamy feel, a little alcohol presence. Not their best effort but enjoyable.

Pours a foggy straw color with two fingers of white head. Good head retention, with a few patches of lacing left behind. Aroma is melon, mango, dragon fruit, with a hint of a orange citrus peel and resin. Flavor profile showcases mango, melon, strawberry, resin, orange peel, with a biscuit malt base that plays well with the hops. Lovely juicy quality to the hops that deviate from the usual blast of citrus. Mouth feel is medium in thickness, with a little grainy, velvety texture. Overall, an interesting IPA with tasty hop notes that vary from the usual collection. Well executed.

Served in a 12oz snifter from a 22oz bottle.

A - Pours a hazy dark orange color with a big white foamy head.
S - Aroma is not very strong but what I get is mango or melon.
T - Up front I get some fruit, seems like melon, with no bitterness to speak of.
M - Mouth feel is very creamy with average carbonation.
O - It's pretty clear cashmere hops bing something different to the table, subtle flavors I've not had recently in an IPA. Very nice IPA but I do prefer them to be more assertive in flavor and taste.

 

 

 

Poured from an undated 22 ounce bottle. The beer pours a hazy amber color with a tall, white head with long retention and pretty thick lacing.

The smell is earthy and tropical with a sweet smell underneath. The smell seems fairly unique. There seems to be some floral also.

The taste is as unique as the smell. That hoppy, earthy, tropical flavor dominates. There is a sweetness on the back end and a slightly bitter finish

The mouthfeel is smooth, low carbonation, and oily.

Overall, this beer is very unique and still very good. I'm not familiar with cashmere hops, but I'm assuming that's where the flavor comes from.

 

 

 

A: Pours a clear ginger ale gold with a tightly bubbled foamy white head that persists and laces well.

A: Smells of sweet mango, papaya, and lime with a mild hint of floral and fruity esters.

T: Very unique flavor. I'm not familiar with Cashmere hops, but I'm getting a lot of lime followed by mango, and kiwi and some herbal and floral notes.

F: Very crisp and dry, heavily carbonated, has a bit of a prickly and spritzy feel to it, somewhat earthy, chalky and balanced. Does leave some slick mouth coat despite its dryness.

O: This is an interesting IPA. To me, it tastes and feels like a cross between an IPA and a Biere de Garde, which in my opinion is wonderful as I love both styles. Cheers!

Tasted in Spiegelau IPA glass from a 1 pint 6 fl oz bottle on May 21, 2017. A collaboration with Reed Wheels. The cashmere hops give this a juicy tropical fruit flavor. Recommended.

Great summer ipa. Pretty tropical, but still has a good hop bite. Would love to see this in cans, but at 7.99 instead of 9.99 or 10.99 for a bomber it's worth a try.
