Snoqualmie Falls Wildcat IPA

Brewed by Snoqualmie Falls Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Snoqualmie, Washington USA

Slightly hazy, warm golden with a nice, dense and very lasting, creamy head. The aroma has very aromatic, hoppy notes, fruit, citrus and hints of elderberry and pine. The flavour - yummi - aromatic with a nice, fruity bitterness, notes of oranges, lemon and light grapefruit, light caramel and a modest, but nice sweetness. Truly nice - thank you After4ever/Tom for this nice beer. 2432

Review based on 22 oz. bomber--also available on tap at the AleHouse in U.P. Light, slightly cloudy straw color. Huge, towering head, leaving significant lacing. Very sweet aroma with hints of citrus and hops. Massive tangy grapefruit bite on the tongue, and it carries all the way back to the throat. This is not pucker-bitter though. I like it, but the malt sweetness might just be a tad overdone for my tastes in this style. Having said that, Snoqualmie Falls makes some awesome brews. I need to rate some more of them.

pours amber with a nice creamy white head that slicks around awhile. smells floral with a little hops. taste is nicely bitter and dry, mmmmm lots of hops, just a tad sweet on the center of the tougne. nice beer especially if you are a hop lover.

Pours an orange gold color from a 22 oz bottle with an average sized white foamy head with strong lacing accompaniment. Aroma is filled with grapefruit and floral hops. Malts are fruity and sweet. The hop flavor comes through with definite grapefruit and also containing some citrus and piney tones. This accomplished a great bitterness expected for today’s IPA’s but has a nice smooth malt middle. This is a good typical example of a Pacific Northwest IPA. Finish is clean and crisp.

Sampled this one on draught at the brewery in Snoqualmie Falls, WA. This beer, like Diamond K not IPA is a true bench mark of AIPA. This beer delivers tremendous hop aromas, flavors, and bitterness, yet remains so drinkable. This beer pours to a bright, deep golden to copper color, with a thick, creamy, white head, and a good carbonation. The nose on this beer is fantastic, just dripping with fragrant and zesty, citrus/grapefruit hop aromas. The palate is firm, with a good biscuit and light carmel malt base, that acts as a spring board to candied citrus/grapefruit hop flavors. This beer finishes with more good biscuit malt and tangy hops up front, then ends with a wonderful grapefruit bitterness that lingers. Just a fantastic example of the style that has it all. A fantastic aperitif beer, a great match to spicy foods, and a wonderful beer to sip and savor. If ever in Washington State, a visit out to Snoqualmie Falls is a must. Growlers and 22oz bombers availabe to go as well, and also available in select PNW markets.

Copper colou with a nice white fluffy head. Nose of citrussy hops and malts. Flavour is welll balanced. Finishes dry and with a nice driy leveling. A well executed IPA.

Clear dark golden color with a full off-white head. Aromas of grapefruit peels, apricots, grass and only a slight sniff of toffee. A very straightforward IPA, more traditional than most with flavors of light pine and caramel. Strength is there as expected. LIght zesty finish. With a slight return of pale malts in the linger. Quite bitter throughout, but the malt seems to be in place as well. Thanks Larry Pitonka!

Bottle. Lively orange color with a great amount of carbonation going on. Massive lacing. This beer looked good but the flavor was all bitterness. Not in a good way but not in a bad way either...just ok.
