The Brew Kettle Strongsville, OH
Notes:
Imperial I.P.A.
12oz Bottle
9.0% ABV
Appearance:
Light orange/copper…a few bubbles on initial pouring, but they didn’t
stick around…no real lasting head to speak of...(3.5/5)
Smell: Orange,
citrus hops…sweet, caramel under tones…mouth watering, that’s for sure…classic
IPA, hoppy all-around, with soft malt backing…(3.75/5)
Taste: Very
citrusy, with some floral notes…it’s sweet when hoppy and the malt flavor is
fluid and blends so well…it’s got great flavor, well rounded and not overly
bitter…(4/5)
Mouthfeel:
Light and fluffy initially, then settles into a floral hoppiness on the
tongue…slightly bitter finish and aftertaste but nothing too extreme…malt does
cover the middle of my tongue, good overall feel…(4/5)
Overall: I like
this beer…it reminds me of the classic summertime IPA, citrus, sweet and hoppy
all in one…I’m shocked to look at the bottle and read 9% ABV, there’s no
telling…the flavor covers most to all the alcohol taste that so many stronger
ales fail to do…this is a great brew to take to a party and share with folks
who need some good beer education…(4/5)
Score:
(3.88/5)
