Elysian The Immortal IPA

Brewed by Elysian Brewing Co.
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Seattle, Washington USA

22oz bottle. Pours clearish, yellow/amber with a thin white head, some lace. Smells dry, nutty malty with some grassy hops. Tastes nutty and slightly hoppy, some grass, some citrus. Medium body, good carbonation. A bit of a let down.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with a lighnt white head. Citrus and pine dominate the nose. Citrus, hop resins, grapefruit. Some malt body and a crisp finish with a little etoh.

A nice looking light orange body with a one inch off-head. Aromas of citrus & light piney hops and sweet malt. Flavor was initially moderate-lightly bitter followed by sweet malt with a touch of caramel and toasty bread then lightly hoppy. Body was moderately thin with a slightly sticky finish.

Pours an orangeish copper with a good-sized head. The aroma is wonderful on this one - citrus hops, bitter grapefruit, satsumas and a good balance of malts... but either the flavor is weak, or I’m getting far too used to DIPAs. It’s smooth - I’ll give it that - but diluted. Good flavor, but it definitely tastes watered down, and the flavor just dies.

22oz. Bottle: Hoppy aroma with notes citrus, grapefruit, and caramel. Poured light orange/yellow/apple juice with a hint of amber in color and a large, dense, creamy, hilly, off-white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Excellent lacing. Lightly sweet, light to medium bitter flavor. Tastes of hops, caramel, malts, butter, citrus, lemon, vanilla, and slight tropical fruits. Medium body. Oily texture. Soft to average carbonation. Sweet, hop and caramel finish.

Pours a golden orange with a beige head. Mild carbonation. Aroma of bitter hops, citrus, and pine. Taste is of crisp hops with an underlying taste of bitterness and malt flavors. Lingering hop bite. Thick mouthfeel, aided by the carbonation. Refreshing and tasty.

Bomber. Pours a slightly hazy copper/reddish with a medium tan head and thin lacing. Piney aroma. Some more pine in the flavor with citris (grapefruit), milk chocolate and fresh baked biscuits. Full-bodied and silky mouthfeel with a nice compliment of carbonation. Dry citrisy finish. Not a bad IPA but not a special one and with the high standards of the Pacific Northwest to brew up to, this is more of a Mortal than Immortal beer.

Clear bright orange hue, modest white head sustains, moderate lacing. Pine resin dominates the nose, light citrus and grass, bread malts, light fruits Taste is bitter hops with floral and pine profile, biscuit and grain malts are quite prominent, pear and citrus near the end, finishes very dry. Palate is medium, thick and resiny texture, high carbonation. An uber-bitter UPS with subdued hop-related flavors (pine/floral/citrus), and an impressive malt presence, balanced and big even at 6%.
