Ninkasi Total Domination IPA

Draft. Pours cloudy golden amber in color with white head. Aroma mild citrus hops and sweet malt. Taste citrus hops and malt very well balanced with bitter finish.

It’s like marmalade in a glass. Very quaffable, and more English style IPA than American to me.

22oz bottle. Opaque orange pour with a medium white head. Sweet malt aroma with some orangy and piney hops. A bit of honey sweetness up front with lots of orange hop character before a balanced bittersweet finish. Very good.

Bottle, acquired in Seattle. Fairly bright orange pour with good amount of white head. Aroma is floral and earthy hops, but not very pungent; pale belgian malt. Flavor is the same, lightly sweet with herbal hops.

Pours a hazy orange-amber color with a nice, but short lived, off-white head. Left some lacing on the glass. Grapefruit aroma with nice bitter hops in the flavor. Nice west coast ipa.

Draft sample at IBGF Summer 2009. Poured dark golden color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate floral and citrus hop and small malt aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bitter flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met and good addition to fest.

Draft. Pours medium amber with an off-white mildly green-tinted head, decent lacing. Ginger/citrus hops, bright and orangey, a bit of floral/perfume, yeast. Nice broad palate, plenty of citrus and pine, well-balanced.

A delicious IPA. Oregon does IPAs! Very hoppy and flavorful. Pours dark golden with a nice head.
