Beachwood Brewing - Huntington Beach

A: crystal clear; medium gold in color; 1 finger finely pored white head that receded to a skim cap; nice lacing;

S: not especially aromatic; what's there is pine and lemon;

T: not a lot of flavor either; follows the nose from start to finish; medium bitterness at the end;

M: medium bodied; moderate carbonation; moderately dry finish;

Eyes To The Sky pours a pale yellow with a small, long-lasting lacing head. The aroma is bright, with cereal notes, hints of vegetation, and hints of orange. The flavor is the same, very bright and approachable, with cereal notes, a mild vegetable flavor, and a touch of orange. Good feel. Overall, very full of flavor, tasty, and well balanced.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours orange yellow with a small white head. Smells of bright citrus and some tropical fruit. Tastes of creamy citrus and tropical fruit, nice and full. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

Beachwood BBQ & Brewing: Eyes to the Sky

Appearance (Look) – Crystal clear gold. White frothy head.
Aroma (Smell) – Pine with some sweetness
Taste – Matched aroma - nice sweet pine taste.
Mouthfeel (Feel) – Low carbonation. Medium body. Had a slickness to it.
Overall – The sweetness gives extra flavor but it’s not cloying at all. The pine still gives you that sharp refreshing satisfaction and balances out the nice additional sweetness.

pours amber with big head - great hop taste in every sip big hoppy after taste

A: Pours a clear medium golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate bright yellow + pale yellow + straw yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a handful of small patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of slightly mottled thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate to heavy amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of citrus/grapefruit + citrus/lemon + tropical/mango + pine + dank hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + light toasted + pale + caramel malts with a hint of caramel sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + light toasted + pale + caramel malts with a hint of caramel sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of citrus/grapefruit + citrus/lemon + tropical/mango + pine + dank hops which impart a light amount of lingering bitterness.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp upfront with a light amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a refreshingly crisp + dry mouthfeel. Enjoyable with a really nice hop profile but I wish there was a little more aggressive bitterness in the finish.

 

From the box, poured vibrant amber, delightful head with a remaining lace, fantastic aroma, extremely drinkable wcipa, so tasty fresh grass lemon pine and hint of dank. Not a bitter bomb,,, lovely and subtle , high recommend!

 

 

 

The only thing lacking and I mean the only thing is more bitterness on the backend. Color is ideal, copper and clear. Head was white. Nose was fresh, lemongrass, and pine. Taste was citrus and pine. Like I said, more bitterness on the back would be great!

 

Pours a gorgeous unfiltered straw color with a foamy white head that lingers as a cap on the body of the beer and provides moderate lacing. Beautiful WCIPA.

The nose is dank and slightly weedy, with some lemon, mango, and peach notes for good measure. I am already a big fan of the Strata, Simcoe, and Columbus hop trifecta before the first sip.

The taste exceeds expectations (for me), with lots of dank weedy, earthy flavors joining with the citrus notes (mango and lemon) and stone fruit (peaches) to provide a WCIPA that is SOOOOOO drinkable and ventures a bit off the typical “bitter WCIPA” that I enjoy.

That’s another way of saying I’m expanding my beer nerd horizons. At 60 years old, I’m glad to be cognizant of expanding anything.

The mouthfeel is medium and drying, per the style. I wish I’d purchased a truckload of this flavorful beer that confidently ventures a bit outside the WCIPA box.

 

 

Pours a clear golden amber with plenty of foam in the Chimay chalice. Aroma of canned peaches and lemon. Sudsy and lively on the tougue. Pleasantly fruity brew with a surprising sweetness, but eventually a drier finish. Flavors of citrus, pine, and peach with a bitter aftertaste. Resiny and a little gunky. From the 16 oz can purchased at Bine & Vine. Brewed at Huntington Beach.

 

West Coast IPA Box:
Pours golden with a carbonated medium white head. Aroma is mild citrus and a bit of hop notes. Taste is more hop than citrus, not overly bitter. Feel is very good, nice thickish mouthfeel with a clean finish. Overall it's a good IPA that doesn't advertise it's ABV.
