Bad Henry IPA
22oz bottle. Pours hazy copper with a minimal bead of short-lived white froth. A placid, barren surface with minimal lacing throughout the glass. Aromatics are mainly sweet malt and citrus notes akin to marmalade. The hops are certainly subdued for the style and plenty of caramel and toffee prevail. The mouthfeel is sticky, tacky, and syrupy. Very light carbonation and a chewy body. Orange oil with hints of pine and grapefruit lead off the palate. Plenty of plump malt here also. Bitterness is low for the style and the beer is remarkable only with the amount of orange blossom honey overtones it carries. Finishes with lingering sweet malt, orange jam, and a trace of bitterness. Needs more hops and carbonation, less malt, and certainly a fresher example would help this one out.
