Leatherlips IPA
12oz bottle poured into a tulip glass. No freshness date listed. From notes 05/20/10. I really had to pour roughly to get any sort of head to form and it faded quickly. While it lasted the head was small, white, and soapy. Smell is relatively subdued but what's there isn't bad. Bitter with some citric fruitiness and a little pungent pine aroma. Flavor is about as bland on the entry as any I've ever tasted in the style. The uninteresting and thin malt profile is followed by some fairly strong lingering green, leafy, bitterness on the aftertaste. Almost reminds me of over steeped tea. Carbonation is somewhat low and the finish is dry. Not sure what they were going for or if I got a bad bottle but I can't help think something has gone awry here. Not recommended.
