Elysian The Immortal IPA

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

12oz bottle. I’ve had this before and always forgot to rate it from the 22ozers. Aroma is light caramel and toated malt. Pours a golden bronze. Flavor is a light hops and buttery toast. Palate is good not too bitter and a little watery. Overall not bad.

22 oz bottle. pours a light golden with a slight head. The nose is sweet hops. Light to medium body. Decent op taste not overpowering. More like a pale ale by West Coast/ PNW standards, comes across more like a britsh style IPA

Bottle. Light to moderate malt aromas of roasted and caramel, light hop and yeast notes of citrusy/herb and soap, with a hint of wood. Head is small, fizzy/bubbly, white, with fair lacing and is almost fully diminishing. Color is hazy amber. Flavor starts lightly acidic and finishes lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery, and has a lively carbonation. Light and drinkable, just not very IPA-ish.

pours a hazy coppery light brown with an amazing malty aroma and little head - very malty flavors with much flavoring hops and little bittering. overall this is a very good beer but a little too much citrus and not enough actual bittering.

22 0zer, Golden hue with very foamy white head, very farm house-esque in the head. A bit malty, not overly hoppy, decent in the English style but the west coast should stick to the west coast style IPA, decently balanced overall but some bitterness in aftertaste. Drinkable, not too complex, unoffensive.

12oz bottle shared at the Brick Store. Pours a clear golden with a fluffy white head that recedes pretty quickly and leaves little lacing. The aroma is almost as malty as it is hoppy with lots of caramel malts with a hints of floral and earthy hops on top. The taste follows the aroma with a little more hops than the aroma would suggest. It’s got a little bit of citrus and floral hops up front before the generous malt profile takes over. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied and almost too thin. It’s got good carbonation and a pretty subdued hop profile which leads to little bitterness on the palate. This a well-balanced and very drinkable IPA that could probably use a little more hops to make it great. Still, not bad.

22oz bottle. Big citrus hop aroma mixed with a bread like malt smell. Clear amber/orange with a fluffy off white head that leave a bit of lace. Bitter taste that fades into a sweet malty flavor and finishing bitter again. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and a refreshing finish. This is a very solid IPA.

Sampled at SF International Beer Fest. This one was decent but didn’t blow me away. Hazy golden appearance with a white head. Aroma is sweet malt with somewhat of a muted hop presence for the style. Flavor is pale malt, caramel, and some citrusy C-hops. Medium body and carbonation.
