Missing Digit IPA
Smartmouth Brewing Company

Cloudy light amber, dense white head, ok retention, rings of lace
Very tropical aroma- overripe pineapple, mango, hard candy
Weird malty flavor, don't exactly know how to describe it. A bit of the hop aroma carries over into the taste
Flabby and flowery mouthfeel, undercarbonated
Why are there so many IPAs being marketed as WC that are nothing near a WCIPA. I see a beer that says "West Coast IPA with Hemp seeds". I'm thinking it's going to dank and piney as hell with a clean, bitter finish. This beer sucks.

Edit: looked through other reviews and they're all at least 3 years old. Maybe they reintroduced it with a new formula. They shouldn't have.

 

Awesome semi cloudy golden color with huge fluffy white head. Aroma has just the right amount of skunkiness for a hemp beer, quite pleasant. Taste is semi bitter yet allows all yo balance fairly well. Finish is somewhat clean with a bit of citrus and malts at the back end

Poured on tap in a shaker pint, the beer is a hazy, orange-tan coloring, with a filmy, clingy, white head. Aromas of heavy citrus, heavy herbal hops notes, and solid earthy highlights. Lots of orange mixing with the hemp, dried grass, and pine. Flavors are citrus forward, tart and sweet, with orange and lemon leading the charge. Grassy and herbal hops to follow, with pine, grass, hemp, and an herbal blend all present. Solid, fairly balanced palate, on a light, dry body. The aftertaste is all hops, herbal and grassy throughout, with a building bitterness. Light, dry finish with a slight resinous linger. Good beer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured a golden body, possibly golden orange, with minimal head and lace. Aroma is not really overly hoppy or malty or anything as the hemp seeds (I believe this is the cause) give it a mostly grainy aroma. Beer is not terrible but this is not an IPA that I will go for again. Low amount of citric hops and any type of barley or caramel malts seem muted by the hemp (which had I not known was used, I would never have guessed that it was in beer). Basically, nothing really shines and the beer is overly dry, more grainy and even veg like (corn?) in its overall taste and finish than anything else.
