Jimmy's Easy IPA
Brewsters Brewing Company & Restaurant - Eleventh Avenue

I got a couple cans of this beer in a mixed IPA 12pck of beers that I bought at the brewery whilst in town for my biznet's holiday party. It poured a clear copper with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had bitter hop cone notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright semi sweet malt base with bitter pine resin presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

 

 

16oz glass at the Century Park location - been a while since I have been here. They have apparently changed Jimmy from a summer ale to an IPA.

This beer appears a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with one skinny finger of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat bubbly bone-white head, which leaves some approaching sand storm profile lace around the glass as things slowly progress.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, muddled domestic citrus peel, some pineapple, guava, and kiwi tropical fruity notes, a hard water flintiness, and more understated earthy, leafy, floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, orange and white grapefruit citrus pith, a now mixed and matched exotic fruitiness, some damp minerality, and more leafy, weedy, and piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is quite aggressive in its palate-beseiging frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, as the hops take a little off of the proverbial top here. It finishes trending dry, the malt ceding the floor to the lingering bitterness.

Overall - yeah, there's nothing really wrong with this offering, it's just that it tastes a lot like the other Brewsters IPAS that I have had of late. I don't think there is justification for so many variants.
