Northgate Brewing Get Together American Session IPA. 4.4% ABV, 50 IBU, 16 oz.
My first can from Northgate, and here it is, yet another "session IPA", with the label graphics depicting an arm wrestling match between Yanks and Brits. Well, let's get into the glass and see what it's all about.
Appearance: lightly hazed, bright amber/golden hued, slim, but staying creamy white head.
Aroma: citrus and pine are here aplenty, with the friends in the stone fruit category and a dash of the tropical. None too bitter, and particularly pleasant.
Taste: Mmm. Yeah. It works. Lightly bitter, sweetly malty,lean-bodied and smooth. Apricot and biscuits. Tasty stuff. Long, hoppy finish. Toasty and fruity together.
Let's read the gobbledygook: "Just as the United States defeated the British in the Revolutionary War, it has won the war of the IPA. Now, both sides must Get Together to agree on terms over pints. The treaty for this ale hearkens back to the British style IPA with lower alcohol content and English yeast, but concedes the American malt and hop flavor's of today's IPA. Enjoy this session IPA anytime you want to Get Together with new friends or old adversaries."
Me, I like it. Not bad at all. And you sure can drink it.
