Ninkasi Total Domination IPA

Brewed by Ninkasi Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Eugene, Oregon USA

Sweet aroma, though hop forward. Golden amber, spongy white head. Juicy hop character, very good ipa, full of body and character, dammit this is good.

Cloudy amber,small beige head.Big grapefruit hop nose.Grapefruit hop profile with medium bitterness in finish.

Pours a light copper with a thin head, not much lacing. Pine, fruit, and bread on the nose. Semi-sweet with a moderate (for an IPA from the PNW) bitter finish. Relatively light palate for the style. Pretty good brew, I drink it all the time at Bombs Away Cafe.

Thanks sebletitje for the share. Pours hazy straw yellow with a nise white head. Nose is grapefruit, apricot, loquat, and sweet light fruit. Flavor is caramel, malt, lots of citrus hops, apricot, and sweetness. Finishes malty and sweet with a medium- light mouthfeel. Enjoyable.

On tap. Deep golden, slightly brown color, thin even white head. Aroma almost astringent – still some piney notes, some slight alcohol. Bitter start, yields to floral, astringent finish. Just OK, kind of harsh, but overall nice.

Poured foamy from a pitcher in the dimly lit Siskiyou Pub in Ashland, OR. Hazy appearance, from what I can see. Tastes really good, a great mix of bitter hops and fruity sweetness. I’m a fan.

Great lightly hazy golden orange coloured body with a thinnish tan head. Aroma of fresh metallic hops, grass and very bitter malt - nice! Medium-bodied; Strong assertive piney and floral hops up front with a good, yet subtle malt backbone. Aftertaste shows a good hoppy taste, with pine and mostly perfume/flowers tucked in with a very mild alcohol flavour. Overall, a good beer - perhaps lacking enough hops, but the malt isn’t overpowering, and the flavours come out well. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Bottleworks in Seattle, Washington on 11-November-2008, sampled at home in Washington on 03-March-2009.

Courtesy of sea bass. Very cool, I can take this off my “wants” list thanks buddy. Pours brilliant gold with off white head. The aroma is grapefruit hops, floral hops, black tea and some sweet maltiness. The taste begins with a brief pulse of sweet malts and black tea that quickly get run down by a tasty combination of grapefruit hops, orange peel and pineapple. The hops keep a strong showing all the way to the finish with a pleasing combination of late addition hop flavor and hop bitterness to go along with a mild level of malty sweetness.
