Rocket Sauce
Southern Pines Brewing Company

 

 

A: Pours a relatively clear medium golden amber in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass and moderate honey orange highlights. The beer has a two finger tall sudsy foamy beige head that slowly reduces to a medium sized half finger thick cap in the center of the glass surrounded by a large patch of medium thick film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate to heavy amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of slightly sweet caramel malts with light to moderate aromas of citrus/orange and herbal hops.

T: Upfront there is a moderate flavor of caramel + toasted malts with light to moderate amounts of caramel sweetness. That is followed by slightly less than moderate flavors of herbal + citrus/orange hops which impart a light to moderate amount of bitterness which lingers slightly.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp.

O: Easy to drink and enjoyable with nice hop aromas + flavors, though a touch maltier than I expected in an IPA (almost more similar to an APA).

 

Look: It pours dark golden and is fairly clear. It has a white head.

Smell: There are aromas of herbs and a bit of malty sweetness from grain.

Taste: There are grainy-sweet flavors with herbs and a bit of vegetal.

Feel: It has a medium light body with moderate carbonation and moderate bitterness.

Overall, this is a fairly mild IPA with more of a balance of malt and hops that normally seen in IPA's.

Slightly hazy and orange/gold beer with an off white head. The smell smell is sweet malt with a citrus note and some fresh vegetal aromas. The taste a bit like sweet caramel and orange with a slightly bitter finish. The body is medium light with moderate carbonation.
