Oregon IPA
Worthy Brewing Co.

Had 7-5-2018. this is one of my favorite IPA's. It has a perfect balance of hops and malts. It is crisp, clean and a nice hop bitter flavor without that much bite. The malt flavor is caramel and bready grains. The hops are tropical. 69 IBUs

This is a proper West Coast IPA - the right strength, the bitterness isn't too grapefruit seed-like, more pine and hops. Somewhat astringent, it's only negative is that it isn't as clear as I'd like it to be, but it's clearly a decent beer.

Pores a clear golden color with about a two finger soapy retentive head.

Smells of pine and yeast with some undeterminable fruit notes.

Taste is very bready right up front, into a very earthy taste. A pine and hoppy backbone. Very Mild bitterness into the dry finish.

Very good beer for 4.99 a 6 pack

slight haze, gold color, voluminous very long lasting white pillowy head, leaves lots of lacing. Only the less than perfectly clear appearance means less than perfect appearance for the style. Not a lot of smell, but the mosaic/amarillo/meridian hops are obvious, especially the mosaic and amarillo. Nice hoppy, bitter, but not excessively bitter Flavor of faint tropical fruits. Clean finish, medium body. At $5 for 6x12oz for a canned date of 8/24/22 (purchased 10/24) this value cannot easily be beaten, as reflected in the "Overall" score. I would be only a little less enthused if this was twice the price.

Pours a orange color with a two finger foam head. Lacing is sticky and keeps to the sides of the glass. The aroma is pungent and the taste is of bitter grapefruit and lemon. Overall a good drinkable beer.

 

 

Pours a beautiful, golden in color with hints of copper and some slight haze. A full, two finger thick head sits atop. Great retention and plenty of lacing as you drink. Aroma is fresh, citrus hops and a caramel malt backbone. Taste follows the aroma quite well. A mixture of buttery malts and hops on the tongue with the hops dominating over time and on the swallow. Mostly grapefruit rind and lemon peel with a hint of pine. Mouthfeel is smooth and zesty with a good amount of chewiness. Very easy to drink at 6.9% ABV. Overall, this is a fairly one-dimensional brew, but it's very solid nonetheless. It's also beautiful on the pour and quite drinkable. This is my first beer from Worthy and I'm intrigued to try out more. Cheers!

Looks like this was the 5th beer of a 6 beer flight. Pours a mixture of golden and light amber. Almost 1/2" of white head on the top, average retention going for it. Aroma hit big tree notes. This was not citrus leaning, this was tree tops through and through.

The taste, like all of Worthy ipas, is malt centric. There is a scorched caramel vibe going, then there is the generic tree bitterness after that. In a way, its nice that they got away from so much of that generic grapefruit bitterness. I'd guess the Centennial and Nugget hops do the heavy lifting here. Meridian, Crystal and Horizon I think round out the hop bill, those other ones typically are filler bittering hops. I could see myself recommending this one if someone out there was really in love with tree like ipas, like literal trees, this isn't a euphemism for marijuana dank like ipas, this isn't one of those. Its kind of typical flagship ipa stuff from an average brewery pretty much, standard fare.
