Twas the night before Halloween and all through the house Kids were screaming for pumpkin carving...to repel the screams I drank my beer and told them not to fear because WIPEOUT IPA was here. The beer poured copper clear with nice thick white head that is lacing. The smells of earthy pine with citrus undertones. The taste is very good. A citrus/pine burst followed by a spicy malt then a bitterness that cleans the pallet. The mouthfeel is great....at first there was too much carbonation, but that settled in nicely. The flavor masks the somewhat higher ABV making this a dangerous beer. To session is brave...to not to would be a sin. Overall this is a great IPA.

This bottle is 6 months old so we'll see how it goes.

A: Pours hazy yellow with an orange hue. Huge, frothy, white head. This one is lively.

S: Slight citrus, grassy hops. Not all that aromatic and not nearly as hop forward as I like in an IPA.

T: Taste is malty and citrus hops. Again, hops are not as pronounced up front as I would like although they do show up in the form of a bitter finish.

M: Medium bodied and very lively. Slightly overcarbonated.

O: This one is a disappointment for me. Where are the hops in this West Coast IPA? Very average and forgettable, IMO. I definitely wanted to like this more. I'll have to try again with a fresher bottle.
