decent ipa. good drink-ability. not to bitter, not to light. wouldn’t be my first choice when at the store, but certainly not my last. its cool that part of the money spent on it goes towards animal rescue shelters, nice/unique idea from weyerbacker!

Bottle. A clear amber pour with a smallish light beige head. Lots of juicy grapefruits, zesty citrus rinds, resiny pine needles, and an earthy graininess in the somewhat perfumed/grassy aroma. Thin to medium-bodied on the way down. A tad watery here and there. The taste starts with a crackery graininess. Earthy and wheaty in the middle. Some zesty citrus fruits and rinds at the end. Finishes crisp and slightly dry. One-sided, but very poundable.

12 oz. A decent IPA, but my least favorite offering from Weyerbacher. Grass hop scent, very faint, with a little sweet citrus on the finish. Translucent bronze pour, foamy head. LIghter than medium body with a slightly sticky feel. Bitter grass hop taste, very one dimensional. I’ll stick with the Double Simcoe or the Infused Hop from Weyerbacher in the future.

The ratings for this beer are way too low. The aroma alone should get it in the upper ranges. A malt base with a huge pine aroma. Just what a piney like me likes. The flavor is not as good, mostly malt with just a hint of the pine. Slightly thin but way better than my peers have rated.

No bottling date.

A: Clear amber body with a stream of fine carbonation bubbles while a thin white head sits on top.

S: This smells like it’s a lot higher in alcohol than it is, lots of hop aromas as well, very fresh smelling. Grapefruit takes the main aroma with some sweeter citrus backing.

T: Well this is a very weird beer, it tastes very unrefined. At times this is very watery, and at times the hops hit hard. Slight sweet citrus hops on the intro, the mid-taste hits hard of grapefruit, and the finish just drops all flavor quickly.

M: Light bodied with light carbonation.

O: This is a massive disappointment really, there’s nothing really redeeming about this at all. Weyerbacher is very hit or miss and this is a miss.

Pours attractive reddish brown with thin white head. Smell is simcoe hops, pine, and spice. Taste is the same, with some light fruity notes

Draft. Pours orange with a white head. Light floral and citric hops, with pale malts and a medium bitter finish. Not bad.

Thin off white head thats short lived. Skinny, stringy lace. Lightly hazy, copper/orange hued brew.Nose is dry and earthy, light citrus notes. Bigger/medium bodied with a lightly prickly carbonation, lil oily and resiny, acidic. Dry malts are a hint toasty with nice citrusy hop notes and the simcoe standing out. Lil leafy and inky. Dry finish has a good bitterness. Better than expected. Bottle from statelineliquors.

12 oz bottle: Pours bronze orange with a small white head and big CO2 column; decent lacing. Aroma is floral and citrus hops, with a nice bready malt. Taste is slightly bitter on the front and dry and bitter on the finish, slightly salty. Rough on the palate due to bitterness, not the easiest to drink and strong dry finish. Decent but nothing special overall.

Bottle picked up at SL.... Pours a dark orange in color. Decent little head that faded quickly. Lots of pine and grapefruit on the nose. Taste is bitter pine needles with a touch of grapefruit. Really does lack balance. Medium body easy to drink. Overall: Mehhhh, far from bad but I can think of many other IPAs that I would drink before this one.
