Elysian The Immortal IPA

poured with huge amount of foam, amber orange color. nose is floral and piney.flavor follows suit. kinda British style IPA, nice but not a fav

what was the deal with the giant head? Aroma seemed to be a little on the malty side to be, i mean there was some pine notes to it, but definitively a grain note to this. Flavor had some hops and some almost corn like notes. an okay IPA, nothing out of the ordinary.

Yeeeesh. Pours a nice golden thick body with a bubbly thick head. But man, the flavor is so dominated by soap flavor, it kills it, and this coming from a hop head.

Bottle from the rip and run. Eager to try it since an old co-worker rambled about it since he now lives in Seattle. The quick search shows that no one had the issue that I had with this ctritter. The gentlest of pours yields the largest rolicking and lively head i have ever had to deal with. It took me 45 minutes to pour the entire thing. After this arduous experience, I assumed that if one was immortal, they would literally have all the time in the world to deal with a seemingly fleeting issue of pouring a beer. I, on the other hand, am not immortal and was a bit unsettled by this experience. Aroma was lost on me since I was attempting not to make an entire mess of it. hops were average and once the whole shebang decided to act like a beer to be consumed it had some nice clear orange hue. Some nice grapefruit hop bite for finish. Ehh.

tap @ brewerey. Nice hazy pour with great retention on glass. Solid floral hop nose backewd with a sticky caramel presence. Nicely balanced but brew allows for a powerful hop quality to shine through. Quenching and tooth coatingly tasty.

22 oz bottle poured a light amber color with a thin white layer of head. aroma has pine hops, resin, caramel malt, and light citrus underlying. mouth feel is medium with light carbonation and coats the mouth well for a single ipa. flavor is heavily resinous with pines and bitterness. malt is high enough to keep it from being one sided and mixes in with light sweetness. finish is bitter and lingering on the tongue. definitely on the resinous bitter end of the ipa. scale.

Smells of very sweet floral hops. Pours a light copper color with a very think white head. Taste is pungent hop flavor up front with a somewhat watery feel. Very tasty but not the best.

Bomber courtesy of riversideAK. Pours a bright clear amber with a one finger white head that recedes to a soap scum layer and results in fairly decent lacing. Nose is light caramel malts and citrus. Taste is malt, faint floral and citrus hops with some resin bitterness in the finish. Light-to-medium mouth feel. Pretty mellow hop profile but very drinkable. Thanks Alex!
