Racer 5 India Pale Ale
Deep golden color, tall, off white head with excellent retention and lacing. Aroma is BIG piney hop ( centennial Im thinkin) and marmalade on warm toast. Great citrus and malty grain flavors up front with a sharp hop bite on the tongue. Malt sweetness doesnt hang around long as strong grass and pine needle hop takes over and dominates this outstanding IPA. Fresh raw grain character makes it taste just that; very fresh. Medium - full mouth feel with a controlled, peppery bitter finish and a warming tickle of alcohol. Tasty hop burbs!
