Brew Your Cask Off

That's right Sweet Water Brewery in Atlanta has got together 80 of their favorite interdependent brewers for their Cask Ale Festival I'll be there...will you?

Titan IPA

Titan IPA
Great Divide Brewing Co. Colorado

ABV 7.10%

This beer was recommended to me by a friend that I consider quite knowledgeable about wine and spirits. So lets give it a go.

Served on-tap in a pint glass. Slightly hazy light orange color with a small white head, obviously due to the tap pour. A little lacing along the glass.

Wonderful smell of candy-like malt sweetness with citrus pineapple fruitiness. As the beer warmed, more caramel notes emerged.

It taste Piny and resinous up front.. Somewhat floral. I can't really taste and citrusy hops that I caught a very light glimpse of in the nose. Finishes nice and sweet with a not-so-palatecrunching bitterness. Its actually a pretty refreshing bitterness. Alcohol is definitely noticeable and this is slightly over carbonated.

All in All I would drink it again but if I were brewing this I would definitely not name it TITAN...

Harpoon IPA Review

Harpoon  IPA
Harpoon Brewery Boston MA

ABV 5.9%

The Brewery website heralds this as their flagship beer. Here's what I though.

Pours a nice slightly hazy golden color with a little more than 1 finger of fluffy white head, decent retention.

Scents of citrus and orange with nice hoppiness. A few notes of bready malt as well.

 The taste is Definitely hop-centric, this is light on the malt presence. A touch of sweet caramel malt, then grapefruit rind and sticky pine. A bit of biscuity malt remains throughout, hiding beneath the hoppy flavor. Finishes clean.Good, enough alcohol presence so you know it's beer, but not abrasive. Right amount of carbonation for and IPA.

All in all this beer won't change your life...but it may make your night a little brighter! Cheers!

Founders Centennial IPA

Founders Brewing Company Centennial IPA

Stats
ABV 7.20%
IBU 65

Second review of the week I know, but after the commute I had Wednesday I needed a beer(17mile=2.5 hours). You see Mrs Michelle Obama was in town and regardless of your political disposition you would have a bone to pick with her too if she shut down traffic during rush hour in your town, although I hear her outfit was amazing...LOL

So on to the beer, Looks like a pretty solid IPA; very golden coloring with a white, foamy head (lots of it think 3 fingers). Slow dissipation down to white lacing.


Typical Citrus and floral notes of the style but and interesting wet dirt scent is in there is well, earthy would be a better description.

Hops dominate initially with hints of citrus peel and herbs. There are also mild floral notes. Sweet caramel malt then shows up and mixes with the hop bitterness quite nicely. The hop bitterness remains throughout the finish of each sip but not over powering.

All in all this is a decent IPA a little weak but would make a good beer to drink when trying others because the bitterness subtle enough it wont blow out your taste buds.
