Utepils Tall Tails American IPA

Utepils Tall Tails American IPA. 6.8% ABV. 76 IBU. Utepils Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

Clear, bright golden color, slim ivory head. Looking good.

In the nose: Sweet, fruity, floral. Nicely hoppy. Citric, piney.

In the mouth: Bitterness strikes first, blazes the palate. Brash, fruity, citric, piney, bold, tasty. Medium/light-bodied, Easy-ish drinking. Full of all the IPA I like. Damn, this is a right-on-the-money. Bright, bitter, beautiful. Fresh, delicious.

All hail the West Coast IPA style. Long may it reign! I'm delighted that Utepils the European-style brewery has perfected this style, while so many other locals keep chasing after Hazy and Milkshake-styles.

Our first all American brew. Tall Tails starts with the finest American malted barley and adds big hop flavor and aroma from the Pacific Northwest. Generous additions of Zeus, Cascade and Centennial hops bring the flavor & aroma you crave

Nice touch using the beer deckels under the beer.
