3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Beer pours a bright copper color, slightly cloudy and a small foamy head. Aroma is right on: caramel malts with apricot, vanillla and bread. A wonderful sticky mouthfeel - lots of body. Moderate carbonation. Sweet like an imperial. Hops like grapefruit. Very bitter finish. This is a bid IPA. Very satisfying. Everything one looks for in an IPA is here. Might be the best Widmer brew I have tried to date.

I do like a good Pacific IPA and I’ve been looking forward to this one for days. Rich golden amber in colour with a coarse cream coloured head with a greenish tinge. Classic American IPA aromas of spruce, amber malts, redwood bark, grassiness and abundant and fragrant hops. Perfect. The flavour is bang on with the massive astringent hoppy burst I was expecting. This beer is stereotypical and just what I wanted. Glen Falconer should be proud that his beer is interpreted as the classic American IPA half a world away. Gorgeous.

A - Pours a crystal clear reddish amber with thick off-white head. Plenty of lacing.
S - Pine, some steely caramel, muted citrus.
T - Wow! Way better than the nose. Pine, mint, bitter grapefruit rind, toasty biscuty caramel malt base, strawberry/citrus sweetness. Sweet herbal mint end the dry finish.
M - Medium body, great carbonation.
Very balanced with enough of a hop punch to satisfy. Aroma needs works but this is a great tasting IPA.

Ótima IPA da serie rotator, essa feita em homenagem ao mestre cervejeiro Glen Falconer. Cor amarelo-ouro, com media formação de espuma e excelente aroma cítrico, bastante lupulada. Na boca, corpo médio, com amargor intenso, notas de frutas cítricas, manga, grapefruit, abacaxi e pinho, apresentando final seco e amargor agradável. Excelente breja!

Bottled. Hazy amber, small head. Rich salty grapefruit aroma. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Dominated by salty grapefruit but in a highly positive way. Long bitter finish. Never been a huge fan of Widmer’s, but this one struck a note.
