Lakefront IPA

Brewed by Lakefront Brewery
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

Serve in Shaker, Tulip

Bottle: Pours an amber color with an average head. The nose is hoppy and clean with a rich malty caramel base, moreso than I would expect. Dry hop notes in the flavor to balance the big body and a chewy finish with more pine and resin in the finish. Quite a nice ipa.

12oz bottle. Cloudy, lots of floaties. Tall bellowing foam. Aroma of heavy hops, dominating scent of grapefruit rind. Flavor is all hops. Total Palate Bruiser! Not much flavor as far as malt goes, you’ll find the simple caramel pale barley malt character, some bread. And then bold, strong, bitter, resiny hops. The bitterness will coat your tongue and you can sense nothing else but hops. I love American IPAs.

Was dangerously average. Any more average and I would call it bland and pointless.

Very good overall IPA. Strong floral aroma, some hints of spruce. Deep amber color, cloudy, medium carbonation, medium body. Thick foamy white head. Bitter taste but the finish is short.

Grabbed this as part of a "Pick Six" of beers I had never heard of before, wish I had left this one alone.

Bottle. Pours a thick, hazy burnt orange color. Wonderful aroma dominated by pineapple and citrus hops along with some more grassy notes. Taste is nice and bitter; very earthy. Some faint traces of brown sugar.

12 oz. bottle. This ipa suprised me. It wasn’t make me sick hops in my face but it was very refreshing and just enough hops aroma and taste.

Aroma has faint hints of citrus hops, but is mainly composed of herbal/piney notes with a subtle malt presence. Flavor is slightly hop forward, with herbal/pine notes dominating, followed by a lingering malt finish with mild bitterness. Decent session IPA overall.
