Bootpack IPA
Bridger Brewing

Served on tap in a pint glass

Appearance – The beer is served a clear amber color with a two finger foamy white head. The head has a great level of retention, slowly fading over time to leave tons of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.

Smell – The aroma of the brew is big of a citrus smell, being a mix of grapefruit and some sweeter orange and tangerine. Along with these aromas comes some sweeter smells of a tropical fruit nature as well as a little bit of a bready smell.

Taste – The taste begins with a bit of a bready taste mixed with some of the tropical fruit flavors that were detected in the nose. Initially the hop is lighter and almost entirely of a grapefruit nature. As the taste advances though, more hop and some more sweet comes to the tongue, with the hop being of more tangerine and a bit of grass and the sweet being of an orange and caramel nature. Toward the end, a little pine hop joins the tongue, and with a surge of the sweet, leaves one with a rather citrusy-fruity but still crisp taste to linger on the tongue.

Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is on the more moderate to thinner side with a carbonation level that is rather average. For the citrus fruit and more citrusy hops the feel is rather nice and makes for a very easy sipping IPA overall.

Overall- A rather tasty and quite easy drinking IPA. While strongest in the citrus sweet and hop, it is blended nicely with other hop and sweet flavors to overall produce a rather easy drinking IPA.
