Blue Hills India Pale Ale
Poured from a 12oz bottle into a US tumbler pint glass. A: The beer is a deep golden brown color, with a thin off-white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass. S: The aroma contains caramel and citrus sweetness, bready malts and some hops. T: The taste starts out sweet with strong flavors of caramel and citrus. After that though there isnt much else to enjoy. The malt character is hearty but the hops presence in mild and there isnt very much balance. The after-taste is sweet. M: A little crisp and not very smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is sticky. O: Not very tasty, goes down ok, not too filling, decent kick, not a good representation of style, even some of the run-of-the-mill beers in the style are better than this one.
