Flower City IPA
Lock 32 Brewing Company

A new favorite among Rochester area IPAs. A clear light golden color and a crisp taste that's sharp while not too bitter. Good carbonation with a thin head that's not too thick and foamy. As far as I know it's currently available only at Lock 32 in Pittsford, which is fine with me since it's a great little canal side place within walking distance of my house. This also means it's a bit pricey of course, but if you keep in mind that you're paying for the cool atmosphere as well as the good beer, it's not too hard to justify the cost.

On tap at Lock 32 Brewing in Pittsford, NY.

This one pours a moderately hazy golden orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells mildly citrusy, slightly malty, and a little astringent.

This is maybe a slight bit better than I remember Lock 32 being when they opened, but it’s still not exactly inspiring beatitudes. It’s lightly citrusy, but with a green and spicy bitterness that’s a bit distracting. It’s also slightly malty, especially as it warms.

This is lighter bodied, and not super drinkable.

This isn’t atrocious, but that’s the best I can say about it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good beginner IPA , I prefer a beer with more hops. Solid beer all around.
