Great Lakes Commodore Perry IPA

Another solid brew from Great Lakes. Pours a gold/orange color, thin white head. Pine and grapefruit aroma and flavor. Well balanced, goes down a little too easy.

I realy enjoyed this one. It pours a light pale amber color with a small white head the stays and leave little lacing. The aroma is of grapefruit, pine, hop resin, and toffee. THe flavor has a good malt foundation but the grapefruit and pine really comes through well. And a dry bitterness lingers.

Pours a transparent golden color with a white thin head. Taste of citrussy hops. Really a good IPA. 12 oz. bottle

Crystal clear golden orange color with a quickly disappearing head. Aroma is slightly citrus with pine and hops. Flavor is a nice blend of sour fruits, pine, hops with a bitter but not very strong finish. Had hints of caramel and malt as it warmed. A solid IPA from a local brewery.

Draft at GL. Pours an amber golden body with a light head. Citrus orange grapefruit, pine and hop resin. Sweet from the additonal malt leading to a nice bitter warming finish.

Poured a golden color out of the bottle. Aroma was piney hops and apples. Taste was piney hops as well, a bit of citrus, and a big sweetness in the middle. It makes me wonder how old this bottle is, but bought it from the store and drank it the same night. Still quite good, but the sweetness got to me a little bit.

This IPA poured a golden yellow colour with a fast disipating head. To the nose there are scents of gin, hopps, grass and some citrus. First taste was smooth and bitter with very strong hopp flavours bordering on acidic. Tea flavours along with the hopps and juniper berries. Finish is bitter, and the palate is just the same. A hopp-heads delight!

Imperial Pint on tap at The Galway Tribes (Frankfort, IL). Poured a deep fiery copperish red pour, with a small head that dissipates to a film and coats fairly well. This beer looks fiesty, just by its color. Aromas are hoppy, floral and citrus weighing heavily on the palate. Taste is similar, an extreme bitterness balanced with nice grapefruit citrus in the body and a more mellow finish that still rings in with a sturdy citrus bitterness. Touches of pine and resin are hard to find, as this is a major grapefruit tartness bomb. A pretty good IPA, with a malt profile that loses itself in the grapefruit. Cheers!
