Bear Republic
Healdsburg, California, USA
7% abv
Appearance: a hazy golden orange color with a thin white head. Plenty of lacing on the glass. Looks like sediment floating around in the beer.
Aroma: very fresh bouquet, oily hops with scents of medium pink grapefruit and light pine. An undertone of sweet bread.
Flavors: they really follow the nose and come together for one tasty IPA. This IPA has all the hoppy notes going on; pink grapefruit, touch of pine and now and then I pick up a little floral note. From mid palate to the finish the malts kick in with an olive oil buttered sweet bread undertone.
Mouthfeel: medium-full in body. Very wet and oily (sounds porno like) with a citrusy tingle on the tongue. The lingering note reminds me pine.
My Strength Rating: 6.5/7
To the Point: Very pleasing bouquet, tasty IPA qualities without being overbearing, and a super mouthfeel for an IPA. Leaves me licking the chops for more.
Buy!
I’ll be picking up more of this one.
