Pure Project Cool River Cold IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. Nice and standard pine/citrus hop profile in the nose and a lighter, crisp body with much the same hop profile. One of the better cold IPAs I've had, and nice and refreshing.

Abnormal + Almanac + Yakima Chief Hops Hopnip DDH Cold IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. Smells of a mix of tropical and orange fruit in the nose on this, and a similar profile in the body. Some light fruity sweetness and a relatively light body that really lets the hops shine with just a touch of haze to it.

AleSmith Currently Trending Cold IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. Has a pretty standard West Coast profile to this with citrus and pine on a lighter, simpler, cleaner body. Not a gigantic fan of the style, but this is perfectly fine.

Fall Brewing A Cold Day in Hell Cold IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. Refreshing, clean, and light. Tropical fruit and some orange citrus in the nose, and a solid beer for the style. A bit subtle and light, but no complaints.

There Does Not Exist Infinite End Cold IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. Still really not sure how cold IPAs are different than IPLs, but this is a good one. Smells primarily of classic West Coast hop combo -- pine and citrus -- and a touch of tropical fruit behind it. The body is very light and clean, with a crisp finish, which allows the hops to shine through quite well.
