India Pale Ale
Hinterland Brewery

 

Poured into standard IPA glass, the kind that follows you home from your favorite bar.

Color, smell, feel and taste remind me of Sam Adams or Anchor Steam circa late 1980s -reminding me of why I got into craft beer in the first place.

So no, it’s not the juiciest, haziest, hoppiest or snobbiest. Just a solid beer that makes you want to put on some R.E.M. and have fun.

 

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Pours red orange with a fluffy white head. Smells of citrus hops with slight pine. Tastes of citrus hops with piney and citrus notes. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

Pours a clear dark amber color with a small foamy head. Head retention is very mild as is lacing. Had a sweet caramel aroma with citrus and pine. Sweet caramel and citrus taste with a nice piney bite. Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

Pretty good

 

 

too much malt for me, not nearly enough hops

Batch 19 Glass

Near clear yellow color with a tall creamy almost nitro-looking head of 2 fingers.

Aroma of mango, apricot, cantaloupe, hash pipe, and dank weed.

Flavor brings the dank weed big time followed by notes of pine and grass, with a wonderful bright fruity presence to balance it out (cantaloupe, white grapefruit, tangerine, and mango).

Feel coats the palate and tongue with oils and resins. Heavy carbonation, hotter than usual alcohol for the ABV. It's a near-palate wrecker but completely enjoyable as it rapes your tongue.

Overall the poor ratings are total bullshit. This beer is an unexpected champion with an unassuming label. This one went down way too easy and way too fast, and gave me a great buzz on top of everything. I'll be grabbing a six pack next time and that's not an easy feat to win me over on.

 

 

 

 

This beer pours a cloudy dusky orange with an average head. The aroma offers grapefruit, mango, pineapple, passionfruit, and some pine. The flavor is juicy, with pineapple, grapefruit, passionfruit, and a solid but mild level of bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with soft carbonation. Overall this is a really nice IPA, with solid tropical flavors and an easy drinking attitude.
