Terrapin Brewing: Hi-5 IPA
The Pour: Pours an resiny orange-amber. 1-Finger creamy white head which disappears moderately quickly, leaving a flecking lacing.
The Bouquet: Herbal, citrusy hops. The herbal notes are that of bright pine. Citrus are orange and faint lemon.
The Sip: The hops are herbal, not overpowering but very much present from the beginning through the finish. The bitterness in the hops shines through as lemon, orange, tangerine (I believe the tangerine comes from the sweetness of the malt), a little pineapple,and pine.
Mouth-Feel: Light to medium body with small sharp bubbles.
Overall: This beer makes me yearn for the beach, the warmth of summer. It is an excellent IPA. Those of you out there who claim to dislike IPA should try this. The maltiness balances the hop bitterness beautifully. Drinks like a session ale, but with the bounce and body of an IPA The tropical hops whisk you away for a mini vacation.
Cheers,
