Perrin IPA accomplishes the nearly impossible feat of balancing a sweet malty backbone along with a blend of west coast hops, along with Michigan Cascade hops. Which creates a crisp bitterness and imparts massive floral and citrus aromas. This is how an IPA should taste!

Copper colored with a quarter inch of creamy beige on top. Moderate lacing. The nose is of pine and saltine crackers. I’m tasting light crackery malt and pine and it’s a well balanced presentation. The pine intensified a bit after the swallow. The mouth is lightly resinous and dry.

Pours an amber color with a foamy white head that lasts quite a while. Aroma is grapefruit and orange. Tastes of
grapefruit with a bit of bitterness. Crisp mouth feel.

I tried this at my brother in laws house. It poured a clear orangish with white head that left a spotty lace. The scent had waifs of pine. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bitter pine presence that came off the pallet clean. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a solid beer and was nice to get a pine IPA as opposed to all these fruity ones.

This IPA accomplishes nearly the impossible feat of balancing a sweet malty backbone with a ridiculous amount of West Coast hops, creating a crisp bitterness along with a massive floral and citrus hop aromas.

Pours golden brown. Head is white and leaves a nice lacing. Nose is citrus. Taste is resinous with a nice bite to it. The flavor lingers quite a while, which I like. Very good beer. Best one of Perrin I have tried.

Nice straight down the middle everyday IPA...nothing noteworthy, but very solid. Hits all the points you want in a decent IPA. It won't "wow" you, but it will very adequately quench your thirst.
