Great Lakes Commodore Perry IPA

12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with slight orange, pillowy white head with decent lacing. Nose citrus hoppy goodness, grapefruit and sticky sweetness. Wow. Taste is all hops, citrus and pine with a touch of earthy bitterness, and by "touch" I mean "a lot". A good bit of caramel backbone to balance it out. Good does of bitterness. Check the decent lacing - fantastic lacing. Slight alcohol warmth at the end. Good mouth feel and body. This is a good beer. I’m so surprised I haven’t had this yet. Yummy and drinkable.

Pours "IPA orange" with a tan head that lingers and there is plenty of lacing. Smells hoppy and citric and tastes the same. Orange peels, lemons, and naturally hops galore. Seems to mask the 7.5 % alcohol well. It also seems fittingly carbonated. Lovely.

Pours red-orange, with a cream colored head. Not alot of head retention, but nice lacing. Smells of citrus, very fragrant indeed. Flavor is really crisp and smooth and the hop shine thru vibrantly, keeping it true to the style.All in all this is a very enjoyable beer

An orange appearance with a moderate white head. The aroma contains orange peels, pine, lemons, perfume. The flavor is well balanced with a nice malt presence but also some grapefruit, pine, lemons, and oranges. A bitter finish on this one. A great IPA

12oz bottle from Walnut Liquorette. Pours orange/yellow with a moderate white head, nice specks of lace. Smells somewhat hoppy, nutty and earthy. Tastes nutty hoppy and slightly bitter followed by lots of malt flavors. I had a pale ale just today that was hoppier than this. Unbalanced? I hope he means malt-wise. Medium body, coats the mouth a bit, sweetness, mellow carbonation.

orangish brown with white head, flavor is mostly hoppy and is enjoyable but unbalanced somewhat. still a very nice hop flavor

Bottle. Pours golden with nice white head. Hoppy aroma that is strong of grapefruit. Well balanced citrus flavor with a nice bitter end.

In short: A bitter and tart IPA with strong pineapples/grapefruit flavour
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Clear blonde body with a medium white head
In long: Nose of grapefruit and pineapples. This beer is mainly honeyed cereals under an avalanche of fruity hops. Grapefruits and pineapples flavour from beginning to end with various other tropical fruits. Finish is bitter and an bit tart. Bitterness intensity is medium. After-taste of pineapples and other tropical fruits. Carbonation is quite aggressive. A very refreshing IPA. This is a good old style but reliable IPA that was the norm many years ago before the modern over-the-top extreme IPAs. Commodore 64 IPA.
