#270 Arcadia Ales - IPA

Lot of hop aroma to this IPA with floral and grassy notes. There is a sharp citrus note to the hop aroma. The color is a muddy brown with a hint of honey, and very cloudy. The head is very thick with good retention, and large bubbles. There some flakes of sediment floating in the foam.

This IPA has a lot of hops flavors, piny hop flavors, there is an almost Pine-Sol taste to this beer. The hop taste is so heavy pine, it is likely that a single variety of flavor hops was used. The malt starts with slightly sweet, but is not enough to balance against the hops. There is only a slight bitter taste to a beer with so much hops. The mouthfeel is full with good body. The finish is slightly piny.

This is an ok beer, I am not thrilled with the pine taste, but it does not ruin the beer. There are plenty of better beers from Arcadia I would rather drink.
