Commercial Description:
The first in our Brew Crew Big Beer Series, Arcadia Hopmouth Double IPA should be finding its way to a store near you. Huge Maris Otter malt and a generous amount of fresh hops combine to make this extremely balanced ale remarkable.

the beer is a typical colored IIPA with a nice fluffy white head. Pretty typical orange, grapefruit, lemon zest aroma, but nicely balanced. The flavor is not nearly as hoppy as I expected, and what hops are there are notably lacking in fruity flavors. The hops provide more of the weedy flavor with a little lemon.

Bottled. Pours a deep orange with an off white head. Aroma is strong thick and syrupy grape fruit, orange, and some light lemon. A tinge of sweetness as well lodged in there. Flavor is masterfully malty with a strong grape fruit flavor. The orange/lemon shine through but are still dominated. The finish is a sweeter citrus. Body is big and syrupy.

22oz bottle. Smelled of lemon cupcake and vanilla with a whiff of caramel. Poured a clear medium orange color with a lasting white head. Medium bodied and slightly sweet without a whole lot of hop bitterness. Tasted of caramel and citrusy hops. Not much depth in this one.

Bomber from the Beer Geek. Coppery amber color with a decent beige head. Resin aroma backed by a little roasted malt. Medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Flavor is smooth resin hop over very light malt. Arguably, and I never thought I’d say this, it might use more malt. On the other hand there is a fair amount of hop here, and it is arguably balanced. Nice, light, pine finish. Worth a try. It does improve with continued consumption, and it was pretty good to start.

Stained oak color with zero head. Mainly a pine resin aroma. Taste is fairly fruity from the hops but there is no malt backbone to offset this. The finish is mildly bitter. A below average wxample.
