Snoqualmie Falls Wildcat IPA

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

From a 22 ouncer purchased at By The Bottle-- bright. semi-hazy body with a glowing orange-golden body. Chunkage at the end, but overall a sticky, lupulin bomb of a beer. Tangy, bitter, and aggressive on a primordial level. God Damn I Love Beer! XO

Bottle courtesy tpd975. Pours a clear copper with a one finger white head that fades leaving good lacing. Aroma of floral hops, sweet malt, and light caramel. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness. Very good.

so hoppy that it almost numbs my tongue! malty and with a very nice blend of hops so that it’s not totally bitter

My notes are simple for this one: Solid IPA. Super hops. Nicely done. I had never heard of it before, and was glad to have a waiter who knew what it was.

somewhat like a mac & jacks amber ale. cloudy amber with foamy head. floral aroma, and a nice hops in the taste

Pours from bomber medium golden forming a nice large white foamy head. Aroma was of citruis pines, hops and wet forrest rines, malted wild flowers come through as well. Flavour was of peppery herbs, tart pine resins, and citrus notations. Nice and sharply bitter, and overall well made IPA, would love to try on tap.

Brewed in Snoqualmie, Wa. ABV 6.6%. The nose on this one starts of with very faint citrus, malt and hop notes followed by a tinge of alcohol and a slight skunkiness. The appearance may be the only thing nice about this one. Pours a nicely carbonated crisp white head and a gleaming fresh amber body. On the sip, BITTER! This is followed by minimal malt flavors and a distinct skunkiness, completely unimpressive. Finishes with a strange twang and leaves a bitter skunky aftertaste. The impression on the pallet also leaves little to be desired. It’s medium bodied with an utterly bland mouthfeel. Overall, the least impressive IPA I’ve tried to date. Maybe I got a stale beer

(Bottle, one million thanks to TheSheeseMan) Pours light hazy amber with an off-white head. The aroma is medium hoppy, light malty and light ester-ish with tones of grapefruit, resiny wood/mild pine, light juicy orange, black pepper, mild dried herbs, mild flowers, pineapples, mango, apricot, toffee, cookies and some strange coconut/vanilla (not oak-ish) hints in the background. The flavour is rather juicy, light floral and fruity with citric/resiny hops up front alongside a light toffee/cookie like malt backbone. Medium to heavily dry and bitter finish. The mouthfeel is clean and surprisingly soft and smooth with a light biting carbonation. 30 min resiny and super bitter citrus aftertaste. Medium bodied. Nice aroma but not that complex flavour. Still quite good.
