Hoptical Illusion IPA: Review

Blue Point Brewing Company
Patchogue, New York, USA


6.8% abv
66 IBUs

Appearance: nice clear golden-amber body with a thin white head that was gone in a second; lacing on the glass with each sip but nothing clinging to the glass


Aroma: faint overall, some fruit, biscuit, touch of sea grass

Flavors and Mouthfeel: crisp, light crisp citrus bitterness, faint stone fruit, light toasted grains, malty backbone, firm carbonation, light-moderate citrusy aftertaste, refreshing feel for an IPA


To the Point: a nice tasting IPA; not big or bold; just easy to drink;
