COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
It’s Old Man Bitter

A mix of citrus and pine that will remind you of the time you went on a vision quest with your Native American cousin and you woke up in a pine grove full of grapefruit trees.

An American-style India Pale Ale with a deep golden-orange color. Bitter and hoppy, with a surprisingly smooth finish.

Modus Hoperandi, an IPA sitting at 6.8% ABV and 65 IBUs.

A very well balanced IPA. A darker golden with good hoppiness and a nice blend of malts. Very easy to drink.

Acquired this in a trade. Bottled on 12/09/11 Poured into a duvel glass. A - half a finger head. Dark amber beer. Hazy with lots of cloudiness. S - totally hoppy. Intense pine scent with some grapefruit and melon scents as well. T - standard double IPA taste but the hops are really weak. Probably should be fresher before I rate. M - Tons of carbonation. Easy to drink! O - I love canned IPAs. This is probably excellent fresh.

One of the best beers I’ve had from a can for sure. Nice big hop aroma of citrus, oranges and mandarin. Has good bitterness, but all in balance. Pretty much classic US IPA.

Hoppy citrus aroma not too strong. Appearance is clear orange tint. Sweet hop taste then very biter quickly on the palate. Overall not bad for a canned ipa.

Really good beer. Aroma is medium with notes of fruit. The color is orange. The taste is a nice mix of citrus and pine.

Pours a rich mahogany color. Aromas of centennial hops blast you in the face. Grapefruit, grassy, sugary. Pleasant. Initial taste is smooth, slightly bitter with a nice sweet hoppy, earthy taste. Finishes with a pepper/sugar lingering flavor. Has a tad of an oily mouthfeel but overall a pretty decent IPA.
