Philadelphia Newbold IPA

Poured a nice shade ofslightly hazy orange with a large fluffy off white head. Aroma is very dusty and musty with some grass and old oranges. The flavor tastes of infection, add in some grains and rotting citrus fruits. Body has the bubbly infected feel. I had a feeling this one was going to be bad and boy was I right. 2nd drain pour in a row from PBC, not good.

Bottle. Hazy amber body witha thin white head, somewhat effervescrent, and produced moderate lacing. Aroma was of lager malts, cereal, popcorn and cold coffee, a little pleasant citrus, pine needles and graham cracker. Flavor was sweet and somewhat citric like lemon-lime soda or sweet grapefruit, very subtle buttered bread flavor, and a spicy effercescence. Palate was nice and not over-carbonated. Other than the smell it was a nice beer although it could’ve used a bit more malt to balance things.

Bottle Pours a hazy golden with a small off white head, it has some floater and such. The head lasts well, and laces rather nicely. Has a good aroma of sweetness and hops. I get pine, oranges, and a touch of floral. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is very good. Smooth bitterness, and fairly hoppy. Has an oily texture. A medium body. A real solid finish with a good lasting bitter aftertaste. I was not expecting this beer to be as tasty as it was but this is a winner. I love an IPA and this one does not dissapoint.
