COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A full-blown “West Coast” IPA chocked full of sticky hop resins. Melrose is brewed with American 2-row malt and a touch of Canadian “honey” malt to accentuate the tropical and citrusy flavors of the Simcoe and Amarillo hops. This beer is generously dry hopped for an over-the-top aromatic experience.

dreadnord (1000) - San Diego, California, USA - JAN 7, 2013
Pours transparent golden orange with a big white head. Nose is big grapefruit, pine cone, light notes of honey and caramel. The taste is sweet, not the bitterness I was expecting from a west coast IPA. Just not much to it. The mouthfeel is soft and creamy, the body is medium and the finish is long.

Sample at GABF 10/11/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. The beer is a golden-orange color with a medium white head and strings of lace. Aroma of fruity hops and malt. Medium body with a moderately bitter citrusy hops character and notes of tropical fruit and malt. The finish is hoppy with a fruit aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
