Castle Danger Ode IPA

Notes from August 7.

Castle Danger Ode IPA, brewed and packaged by Castle Danger Brewing, Two Harbors, MN. 7% alc. by vol.

Appearance: hazy, bold & golden color, slim white head.

Aroma: orange peel, lemon zest, citrus aplenty. The usual suspects. Nice enough.

Taste: Good and bitter from the start, leading to a juicy malt back. Each new sip brings on new hoppy goodness, and there is an ease in the drinking. Medium bodied, long, hoppy finish. Astringency grows on the palate, but never disturbs. It's just fine. Ain't nothing wrong with it. Adequate beer that can be consumed.

I'd take one in a pinch, but this IPA isn't unseating any of the powerhouses. What do they say about it? This.
