Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA

Thanks to cloudskipper for this one. Pale golden beer with a thin white head. Gorgeous fruity citrus hop aroma. Fresh orange peel, piny spiciness and sweet grapefruit. A light honey/pale malt sweetness adds a nice back note to this, but it is still very much a hop-dominated brew. Flavour is also very hoppy with loads of orange/grapefruity citrus. Tropical finish. Sticky lacing coats the inside of the glass in a thick layer of Belgian lace. Light resinous bitterness on the back. Another tasty IPA.

pours a light orange, more pale than expected. very balanced with huge leafy floral herbal hops and a long bitter finish. moderate sweetness. airy mouthfeel and medium thickness. reminds me of avery but better. i love firestone’s pale 31 and i love this one too. this is an outstanding example of an IPA.

bottle from tytoanderso: pours a cloudy dark orange with a medium white head. aroma is a good grapefruit hops but with plenty of malt to back it slight fresh apricot very nice. flavour: is very hopped with plenty of grapefruit soem bitterness from the hops also, these are very prodominant but a decent sweet malt comes through to give ti a more balalnced flavour. finishe s with some more bitterness that is very welcomjed.

12oz. bottle. Real nice dark gold pour, real retentive head as well. Nice grapefruit nose. Very crisp flavor to it, nice hop finish.

From tap at Pizza Port, Solana Beach. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a lacing white head. Aroma is grapefruit hops. Mild bitter initial flavour with a solid grapefruity flavour following into the finish. Light sweetness from the caramel malt too. Nice dry and bitter finish.
