5 Day IPA
12 ounce bottle from Ryan011235, poured into a Duvel tulip. Hazy caramel orange with a finger of creamy off-white foam that slowly settles to a skim, leaving light streaks of lacing behind. OFallon 5 Day IPA I didnt notice a date on the bottle, but the predominant caramel aroma and muted citrus suggest either an older IPA or simply a more balanced one. Regardless, its pleasant enough, but nothing to terribly exciting. The flavor is a puzzle. The caramel and toasted malt I can get on board with, the very subdued citrus I can tolerate, but theres a really strange, almost beef broth kind of meatiness thats, to put it politely, offputting. Back to more normal beer characteristics, its medium bodied with moderate carbonation, so at least it has that going for it. Old bottle? Bad bottle? I dunno, but something was definitely not right here.
