Widmer Brothers Brewing
Portland, OR
APPEARANCE: 2/3
Thin, white head. Deep gold, crystal-clear, steady stream of bubbles.
AROMA: 3.25/4
Grassy, meadowy, lots of hop aroma! Some pine, sweet breadiness.
TASTE: 7.25/10
Hop/Malt Balance: 3/4: Lots of hop flavor. Woody, grassy. Not very malty, could use more body.
Aftertaste: 2.25/3: Sweet up front, bitter hop finish, lasting bitter aftertaste.
Mouth-Feel: 2/3: Very light-bodied, alcohol is masked nicely.
OVERALL: 2.25/3: Needs more body, more malt to offset hop bitterness. Sweetness drops out early. A good session IPA.
TOTAL: 14.75/20–I'll Try A Pint
NOTES:
Matt: Better on tap, but good–easy to drink, sweet, not too heavy. More body and this is a very good IPA.
Ben: A good beer. Could use more body, a bit thin for my taste, but easy to drink (it would be easy to drink a bunch of these, and at 6.75% ABV, that could be problematic).
