Kindred Spirit Brewing

 

 

Look: a very clear golden color with a medium sized white head. Good lacing in the glass.
Aroma: fairly bright hop character with grassy notes, earthy pine, and faint fruit, like strawberries.
Taste: followed the nose for the most part. The bitterness was soft and increased at the end, lingering a bit. The hop character was less prominent but more fruity and the malt character was dry and bready.
Feel: fairly light with medium carbonation.
Overall: an enjoyable IPA. The hop character was interesting and complex.

The writing on the bottom is messed up but it appears to read: "10/11/19 10:06"

Appearance: "The body has mostly good clarity with a light bit of haze. It has a short head with decent retention.

Aroma: It smells a bit like garlic and lime with a bit of pine.

Taste: It has a bit of caramel flavor that comes with with an initial sweetness that is immediately met by a minty pine-like flavor. The initial sweetness is a bit off-putting but the beer continues to hammer this strong minty pine-like flavor each sip which compounds and makes the beer taste better with each sip. Every now and then there is that sweet caramel in the background that starts to taste a bit like toffee.

Mouthfeel: It's a beer with a strong bitter personality. It has good carbonation and a light body.

Overall: It's a good beer and the hop presence is out in force with this one. It has a nice strong bitter pine and mint character that is enjoyable. The sweetness that comes up from time to time detracts from the beer but the beer is still worth drinking. I could drink it again but due to the sabotaging sweetness I would probably only go for 1.
