COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Acme IPA is profoundly hoppy, finished with over a pound of fresh whole hops per barrel. The result of this generous hopping is a beer that is deliciously dry, and eminently drinkable in spite of its apparent strength.

From bottle to tulip. Fluffy head and kind of sweet aroma. A lot of carbonation and bitter hoppy. Not bad.

AirForceHops (990) - Epping, New Hampshire, USA - JAN 18, 2012
12 oz bottle. Deep hazy gold color in a shaker. Well carbonated producing some retention. Aroma is light malt, heavy hops; mostly floral and pine. Flavor is also pine and floral hops with a light bread malt backbone. No flaws here. Decent balance. OK example of a West Coast IPA. However, nothing you need to rush and find. "Acme" is real average.
