Hopical
Julius Lehrkind Brewing

12 oz bottle can (?). Medium amber, small foamy head. Malty aroma, slightly toasty. Taste comes in with a citric blast of hops, opposite of the aroma. Not sure what this is trying to be. Citric and malty, but not in complimentary ways.

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance- The beer is served a clear golden amber color with a one finger head of white foam. The head has a decent level of retention, slowly fading over time to leave a little bit of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is big of a tropical fruit and citrus smell with tons of tangerine, orange, papaya, and a bit of mango. Along with these smells comes a little bit of grapefruit and a touch of touch of grass.
Taste – The taste begins with a sweet citrus taste that has a big showing of tangerine, orange, and grapefruit. Along with these flavors comes some tastes of a very light biscuit malt as well as a little bit of the tropical fruits that was detected on the nose. As the taste advances more maltiness comes to the tongue, but it is light and at the same time the sweet tastes increase as well. There was a touch of herb and grass that come at the very end to leave one with sweeter, and more moderate citrus hopped taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is medium in thickness and chewiness with a carbonation level that is rather normal. For the sweeter tastes and the moderate and very citrus forward flavors, the feel is pretty good and makes for an easy drinker.
Overall – An alright IPA overall that is slightly more citrus forward. A decently easy drinker with a good flavor. Worth a try, but noting to pine after.
