Side Review - Kasey's Leftover IPA - My Apartment


description


Kelli
The color is a pleasant deep autumn straw with strong golden tones, and a wispy head collects along the edges. 

The smell is very mild, with only a hint of hops peeking through. 

The initial floral flavor is rather bitter, but the flavors melt together quickly into a very easy to drink and easy to enjoy beer. 

7/10

Crystal clear with a light appearance.  Looks like a macro lager from a distance. No head, but this is no doubt due to sitting around in my desk drawer all day.

Aroma is not overpowering, very balanced smell, with a slight leaning towards hops over malt.  It’s easy to tell this used a mixture of hops as many different characteristics are present without any specific hop overpowering, a pleasant change from the usual trend of a single hop overwhelming the rest.

Doesn’t taste like home-brew, very smooth and continues the balanced notes present in the nose, has a very pleasant finish that is not bitter despite hop character. It’s apparent that this beer has  lower ABV which would lend itself well to being a solid session IPA.  It gives you the hop flavor you want in an IPA without the massive ABV that will cut you off after a few.

7/10
