Bell Road IPA W/Blood Orange
Dubina Brewing

 

 

 

You have to try this beer. At 6.7 percent alcohol there is absolutely no alcohol taste. This IPA is mellow in hops, but absolutely pungent in blood orange flavor. This beer imitates drinking beer straight from a blood orange. This has become my favorite beer in one pint.

The beer is 6.7% from the owner and developer of the brew.

Poured a cloudy golden body with a half finger of bubbly white head and a slightly orange tint when held to light. Overall impression of appearance is of a very nice IPA. Scents of tangerine, blood orange and tangelo flesh and peel backed by vegetal hops and some pine resin. Overall impression follows the first two, an excellent showcase of the added ingredient with a solid IPA backing. Flavor begins with a nice flavor of blood orange that imparts tart, bright, citrusy, fruity sweet flavors with a solid vegetal and resinous, piney, grapefruit hop backbone. Middle continues. Finish is blood orange, piney hops at moderate levels, grassy hops at high levels and a light malt. Aftertaste is grassy, piney hops and grainy malt. Overall impression of flavor is of an amazing IPAl The blood orange works fantastically to create a bright, citrusy whole. Mouthfeel same as before, a good IPA mouthfeel. Overall impression of mouthfeel is of a good IPA. Overall this is a fantastic IPA. Blood orange works with the citrus aspects of the hops in aroma and flavor to create an amazing beer.
