Grade Divide Brewing Co.
Grade: BAppearance: Pours a golden yellow color with a dark orange tint. It leaves a nice 1 finger head that disappears quicly, but leaves nice lacing.
Smell: Piney hops is dominant, with grapefruit, some caramel and malt sweetness coming through.
Taste: Just like the smell, a sharp pine and grapefruit bitterness begins. A big malt character of toffee and bread then follows. It has a very earthy, almost herbal, aspect to it that stays throughout the taste.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied with medium carbonation. It goes down smooth without leaving my tongue covered in malt.
Drinkability: Despite the big pine punch in the beginning, it is will balanced. I could drink a few of these a night, although it leaves the mouth dry after a few sips.
Overall: A solid IPA. It would be a great beginner IPA for those looking to get into the style. I am not overly impressed with it, but it's still a good brew.
