X-114 IPA - Widmer Brothers Brewing Company

WYVYRN527

Minnesota

4.03/5  rDev +4.4%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a pint glass.

A: Deep golden hue with wonderful clarity. Fine carbonation leaves a thick white head with good retention and excellent lacing.

S: A full-on load of hops on the nose. Floral up front with loads of grapefruit and lemon peel, along with a hint of cannabis. Malt rounds it off with sweet, bready aromas in the background.

T: Fruity, spicy hop flavors consisting of herbal, citrusy notes, along with undertones of unripe apple. Malt balances this beer out nicely, although it's prescence is dominated by hops.

Notes: Of the brews I have had from Widmer, this one might be my favorite they have to offer. Medium bodied and loaded with flavor, this is just the type of IPA I like to seek out. Its got the flavor of a double IPA without the body and ABV. Well done!

look: 4 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5

A: copper brown. Plenty of lace that sticks. Inch head that dissipates pretty quickly.

S: fresh, citrusy, and floral. Hops.

T: moderate bitterness. Rounded pretty well. Grapefruit and citrusy with bitterness that lasts.

M: pretty high carbonation. Nothing wrong here. Not watery or too light.

O: not my favorite ipa but its definitely not the worst. Not too bitter. A more rounded ipa. Don't regret getting it that's for sure.

Serving type: on-tap
