Edgewater IPA
Joyride Brewing Company

 

 

Not bad. Has a small bite but not much flavour left on the pallet afterwards. I drank two in a row, so good enough to order again, but I wouldn't buy it at a store.

 

 

not a bad ipa ta all. very pale blonde in color, golden maybe, but obviously lacking any darker or richer grains, which is just fine with me. i often prefer a lighter malt base in this style to let the hops not be interfered with. i like the head on it, tiny bubbles but foamy and tall. the nose and taste are similar to one another, lacking any real pungent hops, this is a little more approachable take on the style than i tend to look for, but in a neighborhood that might still be developing a mature beer palate, i get this. i wish for more distinct hops, more aggressive, but thats why i like their double so much! this one is mild in its bitterness, but also unfortunately mild in its hop character. texturally its nice, and i do get the hop resins on the back end and a little oily stick, but its not as fresh and forward in the flavor as i like it to be. nice feel though, good carbonation and a quicker finish. its lightness could help it be a better session beer, but the abv is still plenty high. this wasnt bad at all, but was frankly the least impressive beer at my visit to joyride (fun spot, check it out!).
