Charisma Check
Bottle Logic Brewing

 

Pours orange with a twinge of fog to it. Head is a finger and a half of dense white foam. Aroma is resin, floral, herbal and tropical fruits. It has a little bite, but is mostly mellow. Flavor profile is herbal, resin, grassy, citrusy and tropical fruits, with a profile that starts on earthy, gritty with a sugary-sweet finale. Dynamics keep it interesting through and through. Mouth feel is lightly creamy with a medium consistency. Overall, hop dynamics are interesting in this one, which keep it refreshing each and every sip.

 

Decent IPA but honestly I expected more from this great brewery. No date printed on can. Pours a darker golden color with minimal haze, a white head of fluffiness and small soapy rings of lingering lacing. Smells of grapefruit, pineapple, orange and mango fruity hops, as well as vanilla, bread and malt. Maybe a little nuttiness. Taste follows the nose, decent balance and depth, could have been more bright and hoppy. Clean mild mouthfeel with a little stickiness and good carbonation. Tasty but not particularly special.

 

 

Clear rich yellow color with plenty of foam in the Chimay chalice. Crisp, clean, and hoppy. Piney scent with a whif of gardenia. Malty and rich to start with the finish more dry. A classic IPA. Flavors of melon and green stuff. A touch of resins with a brambly, dark berry aftertaste.

Tangy, hot, and spicy. No shortage of hops. It's not agressively bitter, just plenty of it. This is one of the better IPAs I've had recently, and emphasizes why the clear "West Coast" style rules. From the 16 oz can.
