Batch 69
Frankenmuth Brewery

 

 

 

 

 

Clear gold. Smells of hops and malty bread hints. Taste is bitter like sucking on a citrus peel throughout. Very hoppy but not anything special.

Pours a bright gold straw with a finger of white foam reducing to sheets of lacing. Nose is citrus, dank, earth and bitter hop. Taste follows suit. Very basic WCIPA. Fairly bitter and earth. Finish is chewy but crisp. Decent.

 

A: pours an medium amber gold with slight sediment swirls. Medium foamy head that has a slight yellowish tint. Extremely nice lacing bubbly pattern that clings till the end. Light carbonation bubble streaming to the top.

S: mainly piney with a touch of citrus. Sweet honey or molasses upon deeper aspiration. Heavy on malt scent in my opinion.

T: very light. i mean very light citrus with an incredible hoppy flavor. You can tell it is american hops. A slight earthy floral after taste.

M: definitely medium body. Incredible on the palate but does not cover many taste buds. Refreshing , but not thirst quenching. Slight astringency especially on the lips and tongue.

O: Overall i would recommend this American Ipa. It is an excellent starter, but is lacking in the flavor profile and the scent may be stand offish. 10$ for a sixer and 6.9 abv with a decent taste is the selling point for me. Hope this makes your selection easier. CK954

 

Poured from bottle with an orange color with an average head. Aroma of pine and caramel. Flavors included earthy and hoppy elements. Firm bitterness was the best thing going for this one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look: Amber with a surprisingly large white head.

Smell: Huge blast of sweet hops and citrus. There's definitely no subtlety about this one.

Taste: Very bitter and heavy on the hops like any IPA. Some citrus and floral notes.

Mouthfeel: Not too thick, not too thin, just enough carbonation. Right in the middle.

Overall: I've never really been a fan of IPAs, and I often feel like there's a sort of competition in bitterness. That said, this isn't bad.
