Out Of Bounds IPA
Kingdom Brewing

Sampled at VT Brewfest but it came in at 8.3% but the Kingdom website has it at 6%.

A-Poured a hazy orange color. Not much to note in such a small quantity.

S-Smells like bitter grapefruit hops. Also got some grassy hops. Perhaps a bit of other hop derived fruity scents.

T-A good mixture of citrus and grass. Candied oranges. Maybe some floral hops in there. Finishes sweet rather than bitter.

M-Like I said before, it finishes a bit sweeter. It's clearly bitter but not to a very intense degree.

O-A solid brew that seemed to melt into the seemingly hundreds of hoppy brews I tried during my Vermont stay.

The appearance was a orange to slightly amber milky sort of color with a sustaining finger's worth of white foamy head that slid off at a mild pace. Some stringy lace ran here and there.
The aroma had a nice blend of sweet grapefruit pulp and rind running into some lemon to orange fruit scent. Light grassiness, and a touch of medicinal (yet acceptable to me) character came in underneath.
The flavor leaned into the sweet of those prior mentioned aromas to embark on a course that lead nicely into the aftertaste.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt appropriate. Finish kept a nice hoppy content that was somewhat bitter but wasn't overbearing, seemed nice and quaint.
Overall, pretty nice AIPA that does the trick and would be worthy of having again.

 

 

 

L: A hazy reddish orange. Poured with a finger of head which quickly dissipated. Left a good amount of lacing.

S: Can't put my fingers on it, somewhat mediciny. Not sure. Not unpleasant, but not great.

T: Again, this is a hard one to distinguish. It's a bit fruity, some orange maybe. There is some pine notes as well but the fruitiness is the most noticeable feature. A bit different of an ipa compared to others I've had.

F: Medium bodied, lightly carbonated.

O: I'm glad I tried it and will definitely have it again. It's interesting and different.

 

I went to the brewery on 8/21/14. This beer was basically an average IPA, his blueberry skinny bitch, and English bitter ale were both quite good. I really enjoyed both of these, and for a full sampler plus you can keep the glass for $5, you can't beat the price for a visit.
