Fresh Breakside IPA Chinook (2023)
Breakside Brewery - SE Taproom

This beer pours a golden amber color with a small head. Aroma is citrus with some sweetness as is the taste. Nice hoppy taste with just a slight bitterness. Good fresh hopped beer. rated 10-31-2023

Look: Medium orange with red hues and opaque with a nice-looking white head that rises and settles to a lid, leaving great lacing behind
Aroma: I could smell it on the pour. Lemon-lime, kiwi, strawberries, ripe melon, fruity Cannabis, raspberries, wet grass, and bready malt
Taste: Opens up with wet and freshly cut grass that hits first and immediately followed by raw, pithy hop cones that makes me feel as if I was chewing on some. Strong lemon-lime is mixed in and takes hold once the hop cone overload backs off some and kiwi, melon, and mixed berries shine in the middle, which transitions to fruity and lightly gassy Cannabis as it closes out, along with a nice bite
Mouthfeel: Full, lightly slick, medium-high carbonation, and felt dryness on the finish
Overall: This is awesome, simply put. I’m a fan of Chinooks and Breakside’s fresh hop offerings, plus dig their IPA already so the decision to buy this was a no-brainer and a delicious one at that. Lots of fresh hop character throughout and really well put-together and in balance with all components getting their chance to shine throughout. Highly recommended
