IPA
Bluebonnet Beer Company

 

A refreshing IPA, perhaps a bit thin but good taste with a nice hop finish. Overall a balanced IPA and quite drinkable.

 

 

 

 

 

This is not an IPA not really sure what to call it, and not a good beer overall. No defining hop character for this style. Decent color and mouthfeel, but the smell and taste is quite a disappointment. It's almost like the brewer just started homebrewing and this beer is the result of the first batch ever, here is my review.

A: Pours a very lightly hazy medium in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation and some amber highlights. The beer has a two finger tall sudsy foamy beige head that slowly reduces to to mottled pillowy finger thick layer covering the entire surface of the beer and a thick ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of herbal, floral, grassy, and citrus/grapefruit rind hops, I get an over the top aroma of caramel malts.

T: Upfront there is a moderate to heavy flavor of caramel malts with heavy amount of sweetness. That is followed by slightly soft flavors of soapy, herbal, floral, grassy, and citrus/grapefruit rind hops which do not really work well together but contribute a light amount of lingering bitterness.

M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly thin/watery with a hint of dryness in the finish.

O: Not a good example of the style - hops flavors and aromas are a little muddled and the mouthfeel is a little watery. Easy to drink but not enjoyable enough for me to want to get again.
