Big Casino IPA
Dancing Man Brewery

 

One finger of white foam; some clarity under hazy pale amber/orange yellow body; very good cap retention; heavy ring; soapy lacing. Initially, grapefruit then earthy tropical fruit/papaya; a little onion as it warms. Skunky melon entry; papaya and grapefruit; mild bitter hops; firm malt base; skunky hop finish. Medium body; soft rounded oat feel; moderate minus carbonation. Overall a good IPA with a dull earthy hop linger; undercurrent of fruit flavors, but the earthy notes distract. I’d drink again.

I had this beer on-tap in a pint glass at the brewery.

Appearance: medium orange hue with lots of haze and a finger of frothy ivory foam leaving a hearty lace on the glass.

Smell: the aroma is both citrusy and floral, with a delicate, enchanting orange character. It is very good.

Taste: the flavor matches the aroma. Good orangey hop flavor combined with a mild sweetness and a low bitterness makes this beer quite the treat.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess for the style.

Overall: this beer really resonates with me. I feel like I could quaff pint after pint of this.
