Snoqualmie Falls Wildcat IPA

Nice and cloudy, light amber, solid head. Fruity, citrusy hops in the aroma, nice but not super strong. mmmmmmmm sweet, spicy, fruity up front with a solid malt backbone. Finishes out beautifully with a flavorful bitterness. A very good IPA.

22 oz. bottle - looks and smells like a solid IPA with strong fruity aromas, but taste comes off bitter and lacking in malts to balance out the hops

Deep amber color with an aroma that would knock over the lay beer drinker. This was a hopped up brew and then some. NW IPA for sure. This was a great beer and the finish was quite nice. Great beer.

Hazy yellow color with a very nice, fluffy head. What a nose this beer has...really great hops here. The flavor is the same. Not much to note in the way of malt, except perhaps some toffee sweetness. This beer is triumphantly hopped....just the way I like my IPA. Very good.

22 oz. bottle from a trade with asteele8. This is truly a beautiful looking beer - a big off white head with a creamy texture, sticky complex lace, and fantastic durability over a slightly hazy gold pour. Aroma of honey, light brown sugar, pine and citrus. Medium body and carbonation combines with an astringent and mildly resinous mouthfeel. Dominant grapefruit bitterness comes on quickly, but is countered by a light caramel seetness. Nonetheless, the bitterness persists through a long satisfying finish.

Bottle: Cloudy gold with a whit head. Heavy hop aromas - particularly, grapefruit rind and other floral notes. Take a drink and WOW, BAB-ING, KAPOW! This IPA is monstrously bitter. Your tongue is immediately greeted by strong, bitter, pungent flavors. The whole drink is an overwhelming blunt bitterness. It doesn’t stop with the aftertatse - it continues for a long time. I think this is a well structured NW IPA. This is what I want when I don’t want any sweetness or a a strong malt presence in my beverage.

This is a great India Pale Ale. It looks like a pint of apple juice with a thick frothy head. The head lasted for quite some time and left good lacing behind. The aroma is of flowers and citrus, mostly grapefruit. Hints of apple and alcohol also hide in the nose. The flavor was very bitter, with an intense, slightly acidic, grapefruit flavor. This is a hop lover’s dream. It was a good match for homemade tacos.

Pours golden amber. Aroma is bitter hops and sweet malt back. Flavor is well balanced with bitter finish. Nice slightly sticky palate. Well done.
