Great Lakes Commodore Perry IPA

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy white colored bubbles that were quickly diminishing and left behind a transparent softly carbonated dark yellow colored body and a fair lacing. The mild aroma was musty and dirty sock. The crisp semi-thick mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The thick flavor contained notes of malt and hops. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

spicey hops on nosing, on palate hops take reins & whips the boys on the ship to fight like hell. finish is nice and fairly clean, would have rated a little higher if the alcohol would have been mellower on finish. very good beer.

Bottled. Poured gold, with a dense, off-white head. The beer had a clean, floral nose, with grapefruite tones. The flavor was grapefruit, sweet malt, and a bit of floral hops. The finish was a nice amount of hop bitterness without being harsh. The alcohol content really didn’t come through in the finish. A very clean tasting, refreshing IPA.

Pours a nice orange color with a small off white head. Aroma is of a lot of citrusy hops. Flavor is much the same, very bitter with a nice earthy pine flavor as well.

This was a good IPA that poured a orange/amber color with a nice citrus flavor and aroma that had a nice small head to it overall not bad and easy to drink.CHEERS!

Bottle best before July 13, 2008. Pours a fairly clear dark gold with a small white head. Aroma sports some tasty grapefruit, melon, pine needles, though it is a bit milder than I’d like. I’d say the hops are more assertive in the flavor. This is rather dry and crisp with plenty of resinous quality. A sting of pine hits my palate, then pineapple/melon sweetness with hints of tea. This is a pretty competent IPA. Given the price and the fact that there is at least a date stamp on the bottles, I’d buy this again.

12 oz bottle into pint glass. Pours an honey brown with an orange hue and a big fluffy white head that holds well and leaves great lacing. Nice gentle carbonation. Hop aroma is mostly citrus with some floral notes. Some sweet light malt aroma lies behind hops. Very flavorful hops body without a super intense bite. The flavor is less citrusy and floral and more piney. It is soft and medium bodied on the palate with perfect amount of carbonation. Overall: good and refreshing hop aroma and flavor.

Good IPA that is sharp and spicy on the tongue. Finishes mostly clean, with lingering hints of malt and floral to balance it out. Not one of my favorite styles, but this is a good representation.
