Shoreline Queen Mum IPA

On tap at Shoreline Brewery and served in a shaker. This beer poured a hazy orange with a thin beige head that left very little lace. The aroma of the beer was made up of sweet malt, light toffee, pine, and some light bread notes. The flavor was full of nicely bitter citrus along with some light caramel and toffee. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with light carbonation. A well done, sessionable IPA.

Bright yellow/gold body with a tall head... initially. Nice lacing. It had an aroma of sweet pale malts and a floral and grassy hopping. The flavor is well balanced between sweet grainy malt and a flowery, earthy bitterness, tipping ever so slightly towards the bitter side. Not bad at all.

I’m surprized that, since this is an IPA brewed with all English ingredients, it wasn’t forced into the Premium Bitter/ESB category.

Pint at the brewery. Clear orange appearance. Spicy yeast and muddy, unpolished pineapple scented hops in the nose. Some pine wood, tingley buttered hops as well. Smells like pine-sol floor cleaner. Flavor is cleaner than the aroma, with some light pine cones, wood sap, a faint bit of medicinal action going on. Bitterness is decent, a little oily, not dry. Less fruity and more like pine wood.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a head of foamy white colored bubbles that was mostly lasting and left behind a transparent softly carbonated dark yellow colored body and an excellent lacing. The mild aroma was malty. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and medumly tingly at the finish. The weak flavor contained notes of malt and hops.

This was ok not as hoppy as i like but it had a nice smooth finish.very easy to drink with little spicy afteraste
