3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Citrus and juicy malt aromas that are very faint for this style. The aroma gets a touch more floral as the beer warms up, but it’s still rather faint. Rich copper pour with a lasting 1/4" white head that leaves much lacing around the glass. Thick and smooth on the palate with a strong bitter hop bite, very nice. Flavor is considerably more bitter than I would have guessed based on the mild aromas. Hoppy and spicy, not too much citrus gets past the strong bitterness. Good malt profile, could be more prolific. Decent brew, not overly impressive but I found it to be enjoyable every time I’ve had it.

A very nice amber pour with a big white head that quickly fades into significant lacing. The aroma is dominated by the hops but they aren’t too powerful. The taste is surprisingly clean and easy on the palate. The hops are present but this is one of the most drinkable IPAs that I’ve come across. It’s quite smooth and sessionable!

Lagunitas India Pale Ale is a great session beer. Aroma is light are floral. Pours and expected clear amber with a nice head that doesn’t stick around long. Lagunitas IPA is nicely balanced with a nice hop flavor, a bit a of sweetness, and only a light bitterness at the end. Lagunitas IPA is a great go-to everyday beer although low on the complexity scale for the style.

Nez de houblon fruité (agrumes, léger d’abricots), citrique, moyennement herbeux, légèrement floral et résineux, malté de caramel doux, léger de pain avec des notes de biscuits.

Bue en fût dans un pub irlandais près de Time’s Square. Belle IPA dorée qui offre un nez puissant de houblons floraux et d’agrumes. En bouche, l’acidité est puissante, le houblon aussi. Une IPA qui respecte toutes les règles du style. Les amateurs de houblon ne pourront certainement pas se tromper. Une bière que je rachèterai sans doute lors de mon prochain séjour à New York! Cheers!

Pours light amber with white head. Aroma is pine, citrus, bread. Flavor is good, hoppy with some malt, citrus, and pine notes as well. This is a solid I.P.A

When I think of good, solid IPA, I think of Lagunitas. Not the best one out there, but still way ahead of mediocre IPAs. It has a complex hoppy taste and aroma, and displays typical IPA bitterness, still well balanced.

Bottle from Voldby Koebmandsgaard, DK - Orange colour, with a small white head. This has a good overall citrus fruity taste/aroma but with the large amount of hops used here found it abit messy/nondescript on the palate. Good still, just not as much as i was expecting.

Looks decent. Aroma is hops. Taste is the same with a mild bitterness. Not much fruitiness here. Overall, a nice mild ipa.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottom line....this is what an IPA was meant to be. Light, flavorful, citrusy, pine with a great finish. Perfect balance of hops, malt and alcohol. My go to summer beer.

Yellow-orange pour with a white head. Aroma of citrus and hops. Flavor is mild with more citrus, lemon, and hops coming through. Sweet.
