Hoppy Camper IPA
Innovation Brewing

12 oz can with an October 2023 canning date stamped on the bottom rim.

This is a lightly hazy, straw colored ale with a very good white head. The aroma suggests a strongly flavored, dank and hoppy beer. However, the flavor is milder, less dank, and more fruity than the aroma suggests.

 

 

 

Picked up a 12 oz single from the cooler at the gas station on Long Shoals Road 9-14-21 for $2.09. Filled 8-9-21; consumed 12-7-21. Cold stored since purchase.

Beer poured a deep golden with a beautiful white head that has some very long hang time.

Nose is nice, a mix of tropical and citrus fruits are prominent.

Taste is a lighter pale malt base that showcases a nice mix of pine, orange, grapefruit, and mango. Finishes with a nice pine and rind bitterness; 7/10 on my scale.

Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied and refreshing.

Overall an enjoyable lighter but not quite sessionable ipa that i would have again. Innovation beers are nicely done in my experience!

Drinking this on a camping trip in The Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina.
Poured from a can into a pint glass.
Looks slightly hazy, golden yellow with a nice white foamy head that dropped quickly to a thin cap.
Smells lightly bready, citrusy, piney.
Taste follows the nose nicely with enough hop spiciness to keep my interest.
Mouth feel is medium for the style with a nice creamy finish.
Overall a very nice Sessionable beer that I am looking forward to trying in the Innovation Brewery next week.
Cheers!

Cloudy goldenrod with a white cap, visible carbonation. Big citrus with floral and slightly resinous hops in the nose. Taste is a clone but with mango and malts. Decently hoppy, bright, but not crisp, rather more soft and resinous, decent carbonation. Pretty standard springtime ipa all around

Pours a lightly hazy burnt golden or golden with some darker orange highlights. Two finger off white head falls slowly and laces well.

Aroma is tropical fruits to start, pineapple, mango, orange as it sits more dank notes of herbal and vegetable appear. Base seems nice for the lower abv more bready like but with some heft to it.

Taste is like the nose light fruitiness moving to a more mild like dankness, not really a big dankness like a big double IBU bomb but not bad for a regular IPA. Good hop flavors and decent bitterness but light enough to be easy drinking and enjoyable.

Mouthfeel is solid medium with average carbonation levels.

Overall I think this is better then most people have been rating it mine is only a month old maybe that is an issue but I can find any reason to knock this beer. I find it a solid enjoyable good IPA.
