Great Lakes Commodore Perry IPA

Draft. Clear gold pour with a white head that stays around for most of the drink. Very nice hops on the nose and flavor. Some citrus and floral notes to boot. Crisp, a little bitter, light-medium body. Refreshing, and a very strong IPA from Great Lakes.

Very good IPA. Good hop aromas and flavors. Lingers nicely on the palate. Slightly bitter finish. Overall this is a very good IPA.

Bottle. A nice light golden color pour with a thin lasting white head , jagged clumps of lacing left , medium carbonation .Aroma is lightly toasted grain , green hop leaf , slightly piny and floral. Flavor is reainous up front , floral , and piny , mild hints of citrus , clean toasted malt . Mildly bitter for an IPA but just right for balance here , clean hoppy finish ,slightly fruity . Medium body , clean crisp mouthfeel , very drinkable , a quality IPA from GLB they never seem to disappoint .

Poured from the bottle. Pour produced a golden amber body with a large head of off-white foam with decent lacing. Aroma had strong floral and citrus notes, with moderate hops. Flavor was bitter (as expected), and the body was smooth and medium, with a slight sweet finish. This had a decent hops profile but certainly not on the level of an IPA. It’s a good ale, one that I would drink again.

Appearance: Pours a clear yet yeasty amber gold with a decent, 1/4 inch of dense off white foam. Aroma: Light, equal amounts of citrus, grass, melon, and honey. Taste: Sweet caramel malt and brown sugar notes to start it off. Citrus (lemon and orange) and melon and a very modest level of bitterness in the finish that is almost trumped by the malt bill. A bit of bitterness lingers, which I am grateful for, as this beer would otherwise be on the sweet side. Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied. Border-lining on sticky. Overall: Solid, can’t say anything bad about it. Might be better suited in the Pale Ale bucket rather than the IPA one.

Well balanced IPA, with maltiness balanced by citrus hops, and a hint of a white pepper bite. Refreshing and very drinkable.

Dark amber/light copper pour very little white head ... citrus aroma not overly hoppy more on the citrusy side. Has a nice dry hop and ends with a spicy tart flavor.

Bottle. Pours an orange amber with a creamy off-white head that leaves some spotty lacing. Nice sweet, floral citrusy hops aroma with a bready malt body. Flavor is a nice full pine and floral hops that is well balanced and has a light lingering bitterness. Medium bodied, tasty nicely balanced IPA.
