Jai Alai IPA
A - Golden copper in color with a foamy, dirty tan head. Light lacing left behind on the glass. Beer has a slightly hazed look to it. S - Strong piney bitterness in nose with a surprisingly noticeable caramel backing. Hops certainly dominate the nose though. Pick up hints of tropical fruits as well. T - Strong bitterness up front with lots of pine and some tropical fruits. Malt comes in quickly and provides some sweet caramel flavors but the hops carry the show throughout. Bitterness is a touch one-dimensional for my liking, but still a pretty good IPA. M/D - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. As I continue through the drink it actually becomes a little heavy on the tongue. My favorite IPA/ No, not at all. But certainly a worthy contribution to the world of American IPA's and I would be happy to have it again down the road.
