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.

Bottle, Happy Deli, NYC. More like a placeholder IPA than anything else, and verging into the syrupy. Hrm.

Poured a brightly coloured orange body with a fairly large white head. Aroma initially is piney, with quite a bit of citrus tones. Taste is well carbonated, lively and effervescent. Sharp hop punches in the mouth, which are strong but balanced.

Bottle, at Bishops Arms, Järntorget, Gothenburg. A next to clear, orange-golden body is topped by a big, lasting, off-white head leaving lacings. Grapefruit, pinecones, fruit and malty sweetness blending nicely in the aroma. Grapefruit dominates in the mouth, but leaves room for a malty sweetness and some notes of beefstock. Full to medium body. Citrusy, mostly grapefruit, finish with some bitterness. A nice beer, but it feels ordinary in a way. (080710)

Bottle@Bishop’s Arms, Järntorget, Göteborg. Huge offwhite head, lasting with good lacework. Clear orangey-golden color. Aroma is light sweet malts and fresh grapefruity hops. Taste is lightly toasted malts, with a touch of caramel and some relatively mild bittering hops. Light-bodied considering the alcohol strenght. Dry, hoppy finish.

Pours a gold/copper color with a thick white head and thick lacing. Nose of grain, fruit, and floral. Taste is smooth and dry, with subtle fruity notes and the big, out-front hops typical of an American IPA. Hoppy dry finish.

tap at papago... pours a slightly hazy pale golden with a creamy whitish head and lots of soapy lacing. floral grassy hops aroma is full of oranges, apricots and grain. the flavor is a little weak... dry and grainy, light citrus pith, grass, very faint pine, earthy spicy hops and a dry mildly parching finish. medium body is fairly smooth and pairs quite well with just about anything you are eating...
