Monumental IPA
12oz bottle into a pint glass. No freshness dating noted on the bottle. A - Pours a deep copper with a 1 finger off-white head. Decent head retention, little to no lacing, no visible carbonation. S - Malt dominates the nose and overpowers whatever hop additions there are. I'm getting caramel and bready malt notes. Orange peel and a light citrusy hop presence makes itself seen as the beer warms a bit. T - The taste is similar to the nose - bready, caramely, toasty malt. Floral and earthy hops are a little more prevalent in the taste. Moderate bitterness with a drying finish. Light notes of toffee in the aftertaste. M - Low/medium mouthfeel with a light carbonation. D - The drinkability is good, but this beer doesn't seem to fit well into the American IPA style. I'm glad to see another local brewery in the area. I'll still purchase this one again in the future, but now I'm more aware of what to expect.
