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.
2012 vintage: 6.9% abv

Refreshing lite ipa. Pours light orange with a small foamy head. Aroma of fruity hops, malts and caramel. Taste is malty and slightly hoppy with fruity notes. Finish is bready and malty.

Dredd (638) - Bentleigh, AUSTRALIA - MAY 21, 2013
Nice zesty aroma, light amber color. Given the high abv, it is pretty light for flavor. Mix of stone fruit and a light bitter finish but had some moth coating resinous hops.

A - Crystal clear amber, with a rocky off-white head. S - Woody pine, mineral-like citrus. T - Bitter pine off the top, coats the tongue, bready pale malt, dried grapefruit pith, finish smooth and dry. M - Medium smooth body, dry and crisp on the finish. Good clean malt with a clean bitterness. Nose is a little weak all around, almost muted. Bitter, dry and simple. Serving type: bottle 08-12-2011

Very light IPA. Pours a light orange. I was expecting more citrus in this style but still refreshing. Lacing covers the glass on the way down. Piney but faint/watered down.

Draught at Houghs Pgh. Poured amber orange with light white head. Aroma of sweet pine. Smooth taste of pine. Ok at best.

alcaponejunior (350) - Texas, USA - MAY 7, 2013
Coppery-tan with a great, lasting head that left a nice cap of light tan foam and sticky lace. Aroma is some mild floral hops, a smidge of maltiness, a touch of fruits, a bit lacking on aroma but not bad. Taste is more lightly floral hops with a fairly pronounced bitterness, like it had a big early bittering charge of something strong like magnum or warrior, and a lighter late addition of flavor and aroma hops. Body is slightly watery with a lingering bitterness. Overall I’d say it’s a bit out of balance, needing more late hops additions, but it’s not bad.

Jado (255) - Camp Hill, AUSTRALIA - APR 30, 2013
Pours a light amber with a tight white head and some lively sparkle. Aromas of lemon, spice, cream and a little pine on the nose. The taste starts off with citrus and apple, before robust hop bitterness comes through in the back palate. Finishes quite clean, with a light grassy aftertaste. A bit unbalanced, but pretty tasty nonetheless.

Bottle from Plonk. Orange/amber, piney hops and caramel malt, very drinkable, not overly bitter, good balance. Quite nice.

Subtle hop aroma: some faint pine aroma. Malt taste dominates at first but finishes with a subtle fruity hop profile. Finishes a little sweet for an IPA. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Ja, här blev jag förvånad. Syrlig, med svag beska. Något syntetiskt med smaken. Kommer inte köpa igen.

Decent enough of a IPA. Light floral aroma with a thin head and no lacing. I poured it out of a bottle. The taste was mild with notes of citrus, floral, and malt.
