Incidental Mortality
Ghost Town Brewing

Poured from a 16oz can into a Waterford IPA glass. Pours a slightly cloudy golden color with two fingers of soapy white foam head. Orange citrus, blueberries, pine and dank weed in the nose and taste. Really nice bitterness to this. It’s got a lot going on. Pine sap, citrus, blueberry, some stone fruit and herbs. Full mouthfeel. Beyond solid IPA. Crazy combination of hops but they make it work here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours surprisingly cloudy - I tend to expect good clarity for West Coast style IPAs, but this one ends up being pretty hazy. Thick frothy off-white head forms on the beer, then slowly recedes leaving a thin layer of foam on top of the beer along with lots of lacing on the glass. Aroma has lovely bright notes of citrus, orange, mango, melon, with dank overly ripe fruit notes and some grassy, dank notes.

The taste is interesting - there is a light, crackery malt backbone that allows the hops to shine through and take center stage, Notes of citrus, dank ripe fruit and dried pine notes come through. the aroma was very fruity - the taste veers much more to the pine and grassy notes. Moderately bitter, with that bitterness lingering through the finish. it does start to build on itself as you drink the beer resulting in a more pronounced bitterness towards the end of the beer. Feel is light, crisp with lively carbonation. Easy drinking for an IPA.

Overall a very nice IPA.

collab with RIIP... there's the mosaic... not bad, but there is no IPA that really excites me anymore...
