Ballast Point Fathom IPA.
6 % ABV, 60 IBU. Ballast Point Brewing, San Diego, CA.
Clear, bright golden/amber hue, large and lasting ivory head. Looking nice.
In the nose: Brimming with citrus and pine. Orange and grapefruit, side of lemon.
In the mouth: Big blast of bitterness starts it off. Classic West Coast-style approach to an IPA, giving hops, hops, and hops, and not afraid of bitterness. Crisp and clean. Zesty, citrusy hop flavors pound the palate, filling every crack and corner of the mouth. Grapefruit rind and orange peel. Lean malt body, long bitter finish, just about delicious.
I love a good West Coast IPA, and this is surely one of them.
Fathom IPA highlights our favorite characteristics of the west-coast IPA style. This crisp and clean brew features a touch of malt on the surface with an ocean of zesty orange and piney hops below. The result is a refreshing, easy drinking IPA with just the right amount of depth.
