Appearance: Pours out a cloudy, straw-colored body with a frothed, white head.
Smell: Opens with a noted lemon character and light, background floral tones.
Taste: Lightly sweet maltiness tasting of crisp wheat crackers with a hint of grain. Touch of lemon peels. Floral hop character with a faint balancing bitterness. Crisp, dry finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus carbonation.
Drinkability: Though simple, it’s nicely refreshing and easily drinkable.
Serving type: bottle at Kips in Pagosa Springs
A: Pours amber in color with a finger of white lace.
S: Hops in the smell, mild pine notes. A dirty smell to it, very earthy
T: The usual grassy hop taste with a balance of malt thrown in. A hint of caramel sits on the tongue. Bitter, but pretty mildly. Earthy
M: Pretty crisp and a little light, but overall medium bodied. Starts to stick around mid-glass in the back of the throat.
There are better IPAs, this one is very earthy and almost has a dirt taste to it. The carbonation was off a bit too the cans were either gushers or almost flat.
A: Pours a golden color with a finger or two of white head.
S: Citrus hops with a touch grassiness to it. A little bit of bready and pale malts along with a little bit of fruit. Light pine notes coming in as it warms
T: A really nice fruitiness to the flavor. Plenty of citrus, particularly grapefruit and tangerine. Mild grass notes and a decent amount of pine, a moderate bitterness to go with it. Some decent bread flavors round out the beer.
M: Medium in body with a medium to high carbonation.
O: Pretty solid IPA. Nice hoppiness and not really sweet at all.
A: Pours a clear, orangey-copper body with a small, bubbly white head.
S: Aroma of caramel malts with an herbal, citrus hop presence.
T: Mild caramel malt flavor and sweetness. Zesty citrus hops and the taste of fresh herbs. A pinch more of those caramel malts reemerge for the overall bitter finish.
M: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Slight stickiness to the mouthfeel.
D: A fairly good IPA.
Serving type: can at Homebrew club meeting.
A – Poured out a clear copper color with a one-finger, off-white head of bubbly foam. It left some sudsy lace on the glass.
S – It smelled piney with some nice floral notes. A touch of caramel, too.
T – It tasted very yeasty with some piney bitterness. A touch of citrus zestiness and some sweet caramel.
M – It was crisp, sharp and smooth. A light to medium bodied ale with a dry, clean finish.
O – This is a nice American IPA. Curious to try more from Mother’s in Springfield, too bad they dont distribute here.
Serving type: bottle at a homebrew club meeting
A: Pours a reddish rich mahogany (had to add the anchorman reference) with a large cream-colored head that’s got plenty of carbonation ridges.
S: Sweet, fruity esters lead into the dark fruits. Some spicy yeast. Quite creamy.
T: Some complex malts go with the dark fruits. Quite a bit of yeastiness as well.
M: Very creamy. Medium-bodied and with minimal carbonation. Slight alcohol hints after the swallow.
D: Quite a bit lighter than the 8 or the 10. Very good.
GROSS, tastes like carbonated blue berry syrup. Poured it out after 2 sips. No review needed.
A: Pours a somewhat hazy golden with a medium white head, solid lace.
S: Citrus, some wheat malt, coriander, somewhat yeasty, no Salt yet.
T: Coriander and bready wheaty malt. Some light salt flavour at the end, but it’s hard to get to. Hopping is very light.
M: Light-bodied, crisp carbonation, salty aftertaste at point.
O: Not a drain pour but I wouldn’t buy it again. I would like to try more of this style to give it a good comparison.
Appearance: Pours a cloudy pale lemon color with touch of lace. I blame the plastic cup that was available.
Smell: Grainy wheat flavor with faint banana and lemon esters
Taste: Wheat taste with a hits of lemongrass.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied and heavily carbonated
Drinkability: Easy drinking summer beer, nice example of a Pale wheat ale.
Had at Big Bobs Burgers in San Antonio
Appearance: Pours a hazy honey color with sturdy lingering head
Smell: A hint of bread and biscuit with a touch of fruit, not a bad aroma but devoid of anything great.
Taste: Starts like it smells with bread and biscuits coming through,a hint of fruit in the middle, a bit sweet and finishes with a very subdued pepper note.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, light carbonation.
Drinkability: Welp. Not the most exciting Tripel if you can call it that. Cool bottle but pain in the ass to get the paint off for Homebrew use. Will pass on this in the future.
Serving type: bottle, split in two tulips.
