I have to say that I am really looking forward to trying
this beer for the first time. An Oaked
IPA – sound good to me and it sounds like it should go good with a fine cigar.
Appearance: cloudy, deep golden-tangerine body with a half
finger bone white head that leaves some lacing on the glass with each sip but
does not stick.
Aroma: light overall, some oak, citrus-floral in the mix
Flavors: the mild-moderate oak flavor seems to mix well with
some muted hops, mild citrus at best with a little pine on the finish.
Mouthfeel: moderate carbonation, dry, oak spice that is
reminding me of my oak sea salt that I use in cooking, piney on the finish and
aftertaste along with the oak, nothing overpowering
To the Point: IPA fans or Hop Heads might be disappointed or
a little disappointed but, I like the touch of oak. For someone who likes cigars and some cigars
have oaky notes … well this would be worth buying and enjoying with a fine
cigar. Look forward to a few reviews on
my cigar blog with this beer.
