Sweetwater IPA
This beer pours a slight brown orange color with two fingers of head that fade at a moderate pace in my tall tulip glass. The smell is a combination of sweet citrus hops with a smaller herbal profile with it. The malt exists only enough to add the required balance, but the smell is hop heavy. Glug glug glug Lemony hops dominate with a bittersweet grapefruit flavor showing up as well. The middle of the flavor has more of the herbal bitterness with that component lasting through the after taste. The malt reminds me of the malt in 90 minute, but on a smaller scale, very standard but tasty. Overall a great IPA for the region and a competitor with some of the great AIPAs like 60 minute and smuttynose and even many Cali breweries. The mouth feel is fine for the style, not too thin and just sticky enough.
