Oregonized Love IPA
Riverbend Brewing Company

Bottle from Broken Top Bottle Shop. Clear, medium golden, sparse head. Mild aroma of malts and grain, some soapy, floral hops. Taste moved the hops forward, gentle bitterness, caramel. Overall feel is slick. Mellow IPA with an excellent feel.

 

Look: Clear pale yellow with a short-lived head that settles to a lid, leaving good lacing behind
Aroma: Lime, grapefruit, bready malt, a little dank, pine, and blueberries
Taste: Follows nose but pine, citrus, and dank stand out as the leaders of the pack here. Wafts of blueberries follow all atop a great and slightly sweet bready malt base. Good hop bite on the end too.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied, medium-high carbonation, and good, solid dryness on the finish
Overall: I dig it. I haven’t had this beer in a while as it’s somewhat difficult to find in my neck of the woods so glad to revisit it. Classic pine and citrus flavors along with a little dank, a good hop bite, well balanced malt flavors/aromas, and moderate dryness hit all the right notes for me. Recommended

 

 

 

 

 

 

Attractive golden yellow color with plenty of white foam in the Troubadour tulip. Sharpish mouthfeel without being overly acidic. Prickly carbonation with a subtantial body. Aroma of apricot and ripe plums is inviting.

Peach is the flavor, sort of canned cling peaches with a woody note. Bitter aftertaste but not as bitter as many IPAs. IBUs are rated at 65. They don't specify hops but they Pleasant fruity brew and hugely drinkable. Tastes stronger, like a DIPA, but label says 6.5%. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Platypus in Bend.
