Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA

Bottle: The aroma consists of tropical fruits, citrus hops, and light caramel. It pours a slightly hazy amber with a small soapy white head. The flavor starts with moderate tropical fruits and light pineapple. The finish has moderate orange presence and citrus hops. Medium bodied with mild carbonation.

Nice amber color with a dense white head. Aroma is citrus, sweet and hoppy, some floral notes. Flavor is balanced between bitterness and some sweet stuff in there. Mouthfeel is bitter and longer enough..

22 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden orange with a fluffy off white head that leaves a nice bit of lacing. Huge aroma of citrus fruity, pine and flowers. Starts sweet and then the bitterness comes on and leaves a long bitter finish. Malty medium body that is almost syrupy but cut nice with an active carbonation. The alcohol is completely hidden. Very good IPA.

Bomber bonus beer from bitbucket. Pours a clear light gold with a meringue like head. Citrus hop aroma, which actually understates the flavor in this one. Flavor wise, this is just a perfect IPA, resinous, chewy, with great hop to malt over-the-top but yummy ratio. I would KILL to have this on tap year round in my house.

Momma Mia. Big IPA, coming close to Double IPA territory. Nose is big and grapefruity. Very west coast. Pour is good, lots of carbonation and big milky head. Big full mouthfeel with a good smack of american hops during and after consuming. Really moreish. Knocked off a point cos it’s so expensive here (1500 yen for a bomber - about 16 to 17 US dollars). Would drink again If it were a bit cheaper.

Possibly the best ale I ever bought - the first six pack. The second six pack seemed not as good. Like the California Pale, it was too carbonated and the flavor had slipped from that original excellent taste. Still great but somehow went from number one to number three on my list.

The floral burst on the nose of this IPA is quite outstanding. Chalk full of fruit it really comes of like a riesling on. Grapefruit and some lemon and a little blood orange. Pours Opaque yellow with a tinge orange. Medium body with balanced carbonation and a very crisp finish. Flavor is three fold..1) Fruit on the tip. 2) some malt, grapefruit and orange, pine with some spice. 3) Very crisp semi dry hop citrus finish. I might be in love..

I am relatively suprised by this beer. I didnt know its rate beer percentile, but I have seen it around so much that it seemed common and I didnt expect much, this is actually a very good IPA. Clear amer pour, fluffy white head. Grapefruit, grass, caramel sweetness, biscuits, citrus, and bitter piny hops. Nicely made, an excellent go-to beer.
