AleSmith IPA RELEASE: Year Round // THE ABV. 7.75%| IBU’s. ? // THE NOSE: Chalk Dust, Cardamom, Lime Margarita, Duck Pate, Orange Blossom Honey, Golden Sultanas, Damp Cardboard // THE TASTE: Red Bell Pepper, Ricola, Orange Marmalade, Yellow Grapefruit, Licorice Root, Green Olive // THE BOTTOMLINE: This is a little earthier and complex than a lot of its sub-Imperial strength peers, possessing an interesting and unexpected musty swagger from sip to finish. Those with a taste for IPA’s with obvious and dominant hop nectar like characteristics, will likely find this effort a little ill-defined. The broader of palate though should find plenty to savor and enjoy in this stand up hoppy offering. // THE BACKBONE: ? // PRICE POINT: $5 | 1x 22oz bottle // 63 9 2010-01-25T00:56:31-05:00 Brew Review #106 109 image/jpeg AleSmith_IPA.jpg 130505 2010-01-25T00:58:22-05:00 88 2010-01-25T00:58:22-05:00
