Some New IPA
Wilmington Brewing Company

 

 

 

A: Pours a murky pale golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising quickly along the edges of the glass and moderate bright yellow + faint pale orange colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a small to medium sized patch of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of slightly mottled very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate to significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy citrus/orange, tropical/mango, stone fruit/nectarine, and stone fruit/apricot hops over the top of light aromas of biscuit + oat malts with a hint of juicy sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + oat malts with a light amount of juicy sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy juicy citrus/orange, tropical/mango, stone fruit/nectarine, and stone fruit/apricot hops which impart minimal amounts of bitterness which fades away almost instantly leaving fruity juicy hops flavors that linger for quite a while.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Initially slightly crisp with a fluffy mid-body and hints of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a really enjoyable hop profile + juiciness. Very enjoyable and I could easily have a couple of these.

Can stamped 04.19.18

Cloudy glowing yellow hue with a fat, rocky, stubborn white head. Aroma is floral and cirtusy...apricot, mellow OJ, grassy herbs. Bright fruity hop flavor with some dank oils lingering into the finish. Orange sherbet, melon, berries, nectarine, pineapple, and yellow cake. Very soft presentation and a nice smooth, mellow blend of hop flavors. Medium bodied, fluffy, juicy, and somewhat crisp. Tasty...
