Ithaca Flower Power IPA
Ithaca Beer Company Flower Power IPA. Th Spirit of the Finger Lakes. Brewed and bottled by the Ithaca Beer Co., Ithaca, NY.
Hazy, golden hue. Small, but lasting, white head. Nice looking IPA.
Aroma: highly hopped, bursting with citrus and pine, plus pineapple, with floral notes, as well.
Taste: A hoppy monster in the mouth, with bracing bitterness right out the gate, citrus fruit, oily resins, smacking up the joint. Never quite quits, lasts long and strong on the palate. Touch of astringency, bit of an aspirin flavor, but this doesn't spoil the overall pleasure found within. In fact, it's a damn nice India Pale Ale.
You've got a keeper on your hands, Ithaca
Beer Company. My kind of IPA.
