Live Oak IPA
Star Route Brewery
Date: 10 Sept 2021
I was having lunch downtown Pocatello Idaho and discovered I was near a brewery. After lunch, I went to get a flight at this brewery and walked out with four crowlers. Two of the four did not seal properly, and I threw them out. When I opened the second one up, a lovely hiss emitted and delighted my ears. I poured it into my fancy IPA glass. A frothy and airy two-fingered light tan head was created from the pour. The slow dissipation left loads of lacing the glass. The color charts around SRM 12, medium amber with rusty orange hues. Carbonation bubbles are active within the beer when put up to a light source.
The aromas in the beer are grapefruit, floral esters, biscuits, toasted malts, pine needles, and malty sweetness. For an IPA, the characters fall flat. The beer's nose represents a wort kettle without all the fragrant hop characters.
Biscuit and maltiness are prevalent; moreover, the hops in the beer are just meh. I detect orange, grapefruit, and pine needles. Sadly, the hop profiles are just stale. I should not see this type of degradation of the hops in a young beer.
The mouthfeel is dry and astringent.
The body is medium, low carbonation, and full finish.
Sadly, I will not give this beer a high mark. I have tasted several IPA that was far superior to this one. The malty profile drowns out the hops. Another disappointing offering from Star Route.
