Winter IPA
Frost Beer Works

Canned 12/22/17 and enjoyed 3/25/18 so my review will have to taken with that in mind.
Pours red/amber with a think white head. Aroma is pine with some hoppy notes. Taste has decent hop notes but also some almost spiced flavors and sweetness. The aftertaste evolves pleasantly from bitter to sweet. Feel is solid with a nice mouthfeel but overly thick & heavy. Overall a very nice IPA that is true to it's style.

 

This one pours a slightly hazy dark red, with a fluffy white head, and lots of lacing.

This smells Nugget Nectar-ish- with bitter pine, some juicy grapefruit, caramel, rye bread. It smells chewy and earthy.

Chewy and earthy is also the way I'd describe the flavor here. There's a nice bready and slightly caramelly malt character, with bitter piney hops, bitter grapefruit peel, and some slight orange. This is definitely out of Frost's usual wheelhouse, but it's still very well done.

This is creamy and crisp, with a good level of drinkability. There's a normal level of carbonation.

This is a nice change-up from the usual type of hoppy beer Frost does.

 

Can might be a tad old, but I got what they were doing with this one; (12/28/18).
For once I actually poured an AIPA into a tulip for a review, but whatever, here's my observations.
The appearance was a semi-thick copper to amber color with a tapering finger's worth of white foamy head that slid off mildly. One ever so slight filmy ring of lace sat atop close to the edge of the top of the glass. Some semi-foamy to ever so slight bubbles sat in and around the other foamy portions of lace.
The aroma had a semi-stifling bitter pine up front punching at some dried out citrus peel (but even that was really stretching it).
The flavor was super mildly sweet and then bringing in a slight woody to tree-like spice, perhaps sharp earthy and then that cut into the aftertaste dryly with a sustaining bitterness.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair dryness about it. Some sessionable trait of it came about. Carbonation felt fine, somewhat subdued. ABV seemed to be as projected. Mild finish of the pine to the earthiness.
Overall, I can tell it's well brewed. It did seem to come across slightly "West coast" styled with that 'bolder bitterness" being a bit more of a force than I thought. Still, it's one I'd have again for me.

 

Canned 12/22/17. Pours a gold/amber hue with a huge frothy head into my glass. Description on bottom of can reads "Old School IPA". Grassy, floral hop essence in the nose. Starts off bitter and gradually tapers to reveal chewy malt backbone. Dry at the back of the throat.

I agree with the old school moniker. It's a throwback to west coast/east coast ipas that predated the unfiltered "New England" style IPAs.
