Jockamo IPA

10 Apr

Name - Saison Dupont
Country - United States
Type - American IPA

Appearance - Poured a nice amber color with a good sized head.

Smell - Smells included sweet malts, caramel, grapefruit and earthy hops.

Taste - Nice hoppy flavor with a slight grapefruit and orange taste in there.  Backed with a nice sweet malt flavor to round it out.

This is a pretty good all around IPA.  Pretty dead on to what I think an IPA should be all about.  If you like IPAs I would highly recommend Jockamo from Abita.

Overall Grade – A

    OK, so would you suggest this IPA to someone (me) who isn’t a big IPA fan but would like to still give it a shot? I just think most IPAs are over the top. Is there no hope?

    If you want a good, not over the top IPA I would highly recommend Two Hearted Ale from Bell’s. I think it is a perfect example of what an IPA should be. I think they should carry Bell’s up there in Jersey.
