Mother Earth Brewing Co. Kinston, NC
Notes:
American IPA
12oz Bottle
6.90% ABV
Appearance:
Pours a burnt golden orangish color…fairly transparent, with a bit of
haze to it…head is just off white, a mix of big and tiny bubbles and settles to
a thin layer…it does liven up a bit with a couple of swirls, but really rests
thin…(3.25/5)
Smell: Grassy
bitterness up front…it’s got a crisp, fresh smell, but is dominated by grassy
bitterness…I do get some earthy/pale malts, mild graininess and light honey
sweetness as well…a touch of is yeast aroma mixed in there as well…a light,
summertime feel with this brew…as it warms, a lemony bite appears…(3.25/5)
Taste:
Earthy/pale/light caramel malts and a mild sweetness up front...the
strong grassy/earthy bitterness and yeast flavors come through in second and
really take over the taste buds…third phase I pick up some piney hops bite that
becomes more apparent over time…tons of rich flavor here, this brew grows as it
warms…(3.5/5)
Mouthfeel:
Light to medium body with medium carbonation…it does fluff up bringing
earthy/grassy bitterness to the palate along with some earthy/pale/caramel
malts and a lingering piney bite…there’s a crispness up front that fades to a
richness that is nice…the mouthfeel is definitely the best part of this
brew…settles really nice on the tongue and the after taste is satisfying…(4/5)
Overall: This is a tasty brew…the flavor
definitely has grown on me as I’ve done this review and now I sit here actually
liking it (I improved the score a bit too)…the higher ABV is very noticeable,
leaving this reviewer ready to watch some NBA Finals…overall, I have to say
that while it’s not my favorite, it’s certainly doesn’t disappoint and
something I would surely drink again in the future…mix-a-six is a great concept!
(3.5/5)
Score:
(3.52/5)
