Great Lakes Commodore Perry IPA

12 oz. bottle thanks to a trade with DeuceDeuceOU. Pours a hazy dull gold with a moderate white head that lasted through most of the glass and left blotchy lacing. Pleasant aroma of grapefruit and orange. There is some malt in the flavor initially,followed by a wash of grapefruit. Bitter, but also some slight citrus sweetness as well. Medium bodied.

Grapefruit aroma. Dry, bitter grapefruit taste. Not much here besides bitterness and citrus. Bitterness lingers a good long while.

bottle from archer liquors. month past best by date on arrival...
Pale light orange pour with a fluffy white head. Smell is stale like light hop aroma, and oxidation. Tastes oddly sweet, mildly hopped, and of alcohol. Strange flavors, obviously not as fresh as it should be. As is, quite below average.

Bottle from trade with Crizay. Pours a nice clear golden color with a big white head. Aroma of hops, malt and citrus. Taste is hoppy with a slight lemon and wheat flavor. Good clean crisp finish.

Light, clear amber with good, creamy white head / Big grapefruit nose / Medium body with moderate, creamy hops and excellent finish / Flavors of grapefruit, pineapple, and pine with delicious dry, bitter finish / Distinctive in appearance and body.

A solid very well balanced ipa. Its light golden color belies the robust flavor this ipa offers. More of a substantial mouthfeel than most ipas and less hopped up. Offers the balance of the best DIPAs.

12oz. bottle - pours yellowish gold with a thick and foamy white cap. Citrus lemon aroma typical of the style. Sweet, with some earthy notes in the background. Flavour is very smooth grapefruit, orange, spice, earth, with a fairly big and bitter lingering finish. Actually, the dry bitterness is a big feature of this beer, otherwise it’s a pretty normal American IPA, but a good one.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is soft/mild, but nice, citrus/lemon-hops, some medium malt/grain. Taste is sweet citrus/lemon/somewhat bitter grapefruit-hops, then some English hops too, medium malt-caramel/grainy, kind of an I2PA, some resin/plastic, although nice. OK carbonation. Thanks to Eddie Notch for picking this up.
