Lake Placid India Pale Ale
Appearance - Dark brownish amber pour with a thicker head than most IPA's I've had. Poured into an Allagash Belgian style glass. Aroma - Very hoppy smell with very little presence of any adjuncts. If anything it seems to have a peach smell to it. It doesn't really set up any good hopes. Taste - Hops. Not very flavorful but is very tasty none the less. Like I said about the smell, there's very little extras to it. Very bitter runoff on the tongue. Mouth - You know what, besides the lack of any unique flavor, there's something about the way this beer. It goes down very easily. It doesn't leave any sort of bad aftertaste or anything that will stop you from putting it down. Drinkability - This is a good beer that you can easily have a few of. There are some IPA's that seem to focus too much on flavor to try to hide any sort of bitterness or abundance of hops. Lake Placid does a very good job of coming out with a very honest IPA.
