Pike IPA

At the brewpub, a bizarre touristy mall like place. Bitter. Bit of hops. Not the most amazing IPA ever, but not bad considering the weird environment it is made in.

Poured straight from the tap at Pike Brewery, tall thick head, copperish colour, maybe amber. Aromas of pine, grapefruit and fresh hops. Dry, hoppy and slightly sweet- slightly bitter. nice brew overall.

Resin creamy caramel nose, some floral notes present. Deep Amber/copper with a frothy head. Great sweet caramel maltiness, with a solid hop balance. Good mouth feel, wasn’t too heavy, and the brightness of the hops created a great finish. Solid "easy drinking" IPA.

Bottle. Pours a hazy, dark burnt copper color with a white wisp. Very lively aroma with lots of sweet malt, fruits, grass, flowers and citrus. Toasted caramel malt flavor. Pretty sweet. Tastes more like a Pale ale or even a hopped up amber. A nice beer.

Clear amber with a white head. Nice fresh hop sprucy aroma. Smooth medium body. Nice flavor is mild spruce hops with bready pale malts. Finishes mildly bitter. Not too bad. 1.19.2007
