210 IPA
Templin Family Brewing

Look: Pours a golden yellow with a frothy white head. Almost has more of a lager hue to it.

Smell: Bursting with fruit and dank. Lemongrass, orange, melon, all mixed with the hops make for a nice aroma.

Taste: Nice initial bitter bite to the taste; it’s not as fruity as the aroma would imply but I am getting the lemon, and there’s also a nice floral blend in there as well.

Feel: Medium feel with a really nice dry finish.

Overall: Nice offering from TF in Utah, and they continue to be one of the more consistently good breweries in the area.

16oz can from Boise Co-op. Foggy, pale golden pour, small foamy white head settles to a thin layer. Citrusy aroma, grapefruit peel. Taste is zesty, dry, grapefruit, clean. Lingering zest.

16oz can. Date stamped on label is '10/4/24'.
Mostly clear, straw to pale gold colored body. One finger of white head, which retreats to a thin cap and ring. Leaves behind thick strings of lacing.
Aroma is green melon, citrus, pine, and a whiff of weed.
Taste is well balanced among the flavors of pine, citrus pith, green melon, slightly dank, and a little red berry. Gets husky in the aftertaste.
Medium mouthfeel. Soft texture. Clean and fruity finish. Medium bitterness with minor tongue numbing. Very good carbonation.
A very easy to imbibe and swallow IPA. Refreshing. All presentation factors are on point, bright, and complementary. Kudos for this brewery are well earned.

 

quality always shines with templin beers, and it does again here, super well refined west coast ipa with a nice hop profile, bold but drinkable, super clean in terms of grain and ferment and water chemistry and all of that, real dialed in, and the hops are pretty summery, well done once again! bright shiny gold color in the glass with a frothy white head and lots of bubbles, not crystal clear but not hazy either. the aroma is great, white coconut flesh, lime, wet lawn, green melon and its rind, and a lushness thats really appealing, lightly oily, some sweetness inhere uplifting hops, middle of the road bitterness for the style, not overly aggressive to me. the flavor is similar with nice flow and evolution of the hops from start to finish, with kiwi fruit and honeydew up front, then lemongrass and some herbal character in the middle, later its more of that coconut before a wash of bitterness and even some weedy character that lingers for a second on the palate after each sip. the body is pretty light overall and the grain is supportive but well out of the way. the ferment is neutral and the carbonation is way up so this drinks excited and even refreshing for the style, not too bitter on the back end but more of that as it warms. nice fruity modern hop profile, the strata does the heavy lifting to my senses, but idaho 7 and citra are also easy to appreciate in this, especially in the nose. nice recipe and execution, subtle in the right ways, robust though too, delicious.
