Titan IPA

10 Mar

Name - Titan IPA
Country - United States
Type - American IPA

Appearance - Pours an amber color with a small white head but it laces the glass amazingly.

Smell - Smells of hops, lots of hops.  Grapefruit, grass, pine.

Taste - Similar to the smell with big grapefruit hops up front with some pine background tastes to it.

Absolutely great all around IPA.  Big on the hops but not over powering with plenty of flavor to go with it.  It’s definitely not hoppy just to be hoppy.  Quite possibly one of the best IPAs I have ever had.  This one gets the rare mark.

Overall Grade – A+

Hops Infusion

18 Feb

Name - Hops Infusion
Country - United States
Type - American IPA

Appearance - Pours a murky copper color with a small foamy white head.

Smell - Has quite hoppy smells with pine and slight grapefruit.

Taste - The name isn’t kidding.  Big on the hops and they are very earthy.  Pine and floral notes present and a ever so slight citrus taste that helps it not be to overboard.  The last few sips had an extra kick of alcohol to them.

A big hopped brew that really doesn’t go overboard with the hops but has just enough for a hop head to enjoy.  I think this is a good IPA and would recommend for those that are big on hops.

Overall Grade – B-

Two Hearted Ale

5 Feb

Name - Two Hearted Ale
Country - United States
Type - American IPA

Appearance - Pours a murky gold color that is not transparent at all with a nice fluffy white head.

Smell - Nice smells of citrus and slight hints of pine.

Taste - Nice citrus notes of grapefruit, lemon and orange with a good combination of hops.  Not over powering on the hops here.

Bell’s comes through with a really simple and really good IPA here.  They didn’t do anything fancy or try to be big on the hops and it works.  Straight and to the point.  For anyone that is interested in IPAs but don’t like a lot of hops I would highly recommend this one.

Overall Grade – A
