A little hazy-ish, crimson-colored, nice and lasting creamy-toned head. Looking good.
In the nose: Caramel and toffee meets citrus and a little pine. Sweet, plus hoppy, with but a twist of bitter. Nice.
In the mouth: Hops hit first, but the lush malt mouthfeel fills it in right away. Shiny, sparkly, clean, crisp and vibrant hop profile fills the palate, too, and continues to shine. Hops grow and climb over the malt, getting brighter and bolder. Citrus hop notes tower over other flavors, in the end, and I like that. I could drink a few of these with no problem at all,
This was from the 4-Way IPA sampler pack. Three more to go.
Flipside finds the perfect balance between hops and malt in this easy-drinking red IPA. It features just enough smooth and slightly sweet malt body to support huge citrusy and tropical fruit-forward hop flavors from the use of Simcoe, Citra, and Centennial hops.
