Elysian The Immortal IPA

Orange-amber in colour, small white coloured head, very light lacing. Aroma is quite hoppy, sweet orange citrus, very light spice. The flavour is of orange zest, lots of hops, a bit dry, some caramel sweetness. Bitter hoppy mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes with some citrus hop bitterness, lingering, dry. Nice balance, highly drinkable IPA.

1 pint 6 fl. oz. bottle. Pours amber color with a head that dissipates quickly. Aroma: Pine and a hint of citrus. Flavor: Very hoppy, but not over-powering, with a hint of orange peel.

Pours a brilliant gold with a light & frothy thin head and a very faint hop aroma. Malt hits you at first taste, and then it opens up with plenty of citrusy PNW hops - spicy! Decent thickness to the body, and excellent carbonation. This wins for excellent hopping and balance - what a treat!

Bomber. Puckering peachy astringent aroma, fresh but grainy, lacking in citrus. Head is absolutely enormous; I’m on probably the 7th or 8th pour now into my pint glass and I’ve still got a good quarter bottle left. Simply can’t get it out without overflowing the glass. I did manage to get the head a good 2" above the glass though, that was pretty sweet. Flavor is quite bitter, drys the mouth like a pumello, has a mild chocolately flavor and tongue scraping hoppy finish.

16oz draft 12/07(Sharps Roaster SEA)-A light amber body with a nice two finger head. Aroma of hops, citrus, and slight grapefruit. A light to medium body with a taste of hops and a strong bitterness and dryness on the back end along with a funky taste. A little weak for an IPA.

22 oz. bottle. Amber color with a thin off - white head. Mild smell of grapefruit and piney hops. Medium body with light carbonation. Flavor is almost all grapefruit and flowery hops here. A slight taste of caramel sweetness is beaten down by the big hop flavors. A long finish is all bitter hops. Not a favorite of mine but not bad, either. June2004

[1109B-20080217] Tap @ Elysian Fields (Seattle, WA). Hoppy grass and simple yeast aroma. Clear, light orange brown with a quick foamy white head. Grassy bitter grains flavour with a yeasty finish. Bitter medium body. Great blend. (7/3/8/4/17) 3.9

Bottle. Orange body with a small white head. The aroma is hop forward and toasty with some pine needle notes. The flavour is quite hoppy and fairly standard with orange and resin notes. A well balanced, drinkable IPA.
