Thumb Print IIPA
Poured from 12oz bottle into Tulip. A. 2 finger head. Good lacing. Nice retention. Color is a dark brownish orange. S. Piney hops and some grapefruit. Malt is farely dry smelling. Not really an over the top smelling, but well balanced and good. T. Big flavor. Nice hop bitterness. Not a huge amount of hop flavor other than tongue bruising back of tongue bitterness. M. Full bodied. Liked the mouthfeel on this. Felt like chewy hoppiness. Medium carbonation. Lingering bitterness. O. Would have liked to get this a little bit fresher, but I was impressed. Not that I expected anything less than a good beer from New Glarus. Not the best DIPA in the world, but a well balanced easy drinking beer that displays hop bitterness well. Opens up nice as it warms.
