16 OZ can
Served in an oversized, stemless, wine glass

This beer pours a light shade of amber with yellow highlights and is slightly hazy. It is topped with an inch of off white head that leaves some nice lacing rings.

The smell is citrus, dank, and a little catty.

The taste is citrus and dank. It has little bitterness.

It has kind of a chalky mouthfeel.

It is a pretty solid IPA. I've had better, but I wouldn't kick it out of the sack for eating crackers.

 

 

 

 

16 oz can poured into nonic pint canned on 2/13/18

A: Fair good sized creamy looking white head that settled slowly and laced the glass. Body is a slightly hazy yellow burnished gold in color.

S: A little like rotten fruit. overripe mangoes and cantaloupe a little light honey.

T: This beer bursts with pineapple, mango, cantaloupe, lemon, grass, nice smooth finish barely any bitterness not as sweet as I was expecting either.

M: Medium bodied lower carbonation beer almost feels a touch undercarbonated.

O: Wow, this beer for the relatively low ABV is a show stopper. The flavor is incredible and so clean i'm only dinging it to wonder if a touch more carbonation would have improved it or hurt it....I'm impressed with this beers balance something this hoppy and this clean without any lingering alcohol is a fine thing.

 

Clean and citrusy, but mild.

 

Beer is a nice clear yellow. Head is a creamy white. Very attractive and pleasing to look at.

Smell is nice. Hoppy. Hop notes are a strong lemon with light grapefruit notes. A very good combo.

Taste is somewhat different. Still a nice lemon note with light grapefruit but includes a pine note too.

Feel is medium but feels lighter. Biting carbonation makes it a bit crisp. Lightly dry aftertaste

Very good and should be proud of its continued excellence.

Nice color, very clear, with pleasant carbonation. Nose has a very nice citrus. While the taste brings the same citrus it also has a bit of sweetness before the hops hits. Be careful, it's smooth enough that you don't notice the 7%.

 

 

 

Another great IPA churned out by Ocelot. Very "west coast"- dry with wonderful bitterness offset by some good citrus flavors. These guys continue to amaze me. I view this as one of their better IPAs, but all are excellent.

Thanks Kegatron for the growler split. Poured into a tulip the brew appears a gorgeous pale golden with polished clarity and a white soapy topping of froth that fades leaving spotty lace.

Smells grassy and fruity with pulpy hops. Fairly clean with mild tropics.

Tastes bitter and grassy with some pulp and pith. A wheat-like grain feel is there but without residual sweetness.

Light body with modest carbonation. Some pretty nice easy drinking stuff.
