Name – Highland Kashmir IPA
Country – United States
Type – American IPA

Appearance – Poured a very cloudy pale gold color with a big white head.  It sticks around a bit and does leave some lacing on the glass.

Smell – The nose is interesting.  It’s grassy and floral like with the hops but with some citrus notes.  There is a sweet smell as well that I just can’t quite place.

Taste – Bitterness from the hops up front that are floral in natural are quickly met with a sweetness that is a little like bubble gum and toffee.  There are some other citrus and grassy notes through out.

I was recommended this one by Eric who was a regular at the Coffee District until he recently moved to Georgia.  I told him I haven’t been a fan of other stuff from Highland but he said I had to try this one.  My first couple sips I really didn’t care for all that much but then all of a sudden I did like it.  It was refreshing and something a little different from most IPAs.  The sweetness I think is what threw me off a bit but I ended up embracing it.  Nice pick Eric.

Overall Grade – B+
