Today’s April Dirty Thirty review is on…
Yards Brewing IPA
Yards Brewing IPA
Critical Information:
- 7% ABV
- Available Year-round
My Experience:
– POUR
Poured from bottle into tulip glass (again, can someone confirm that’s what it is from the picture? I’m terrible with my glass types). Good ¾”-1” white head. There were lots of bubbles lasting for several minutes served at 55 or so degrees.
– SMELL
It has a hoppy, floral aroma. I even get some citrus and apples mixed in. First hoppy beer I’ve had in a while so my nostrils are curious.
– TASTE
Light at first sip and then it attacks the palate with a crisp apple-hop flavor. It has a spiciness that lingers for some time before eventually dissipating.
– MOUTHFEEL
It has a light, dense texture and leaves your month with a tingling coating like after drinking dry white wine.
– FOOD PAIRING
911 Buffalo Bites from the Buffalo Wing Factory. The spiciness of the food will be complimented by the hoppiness of the beer.
– OVERALL THOUGHTS
Good beer. This IPA wasn’t overpowering as some IPAs can be. I enjoyed the crisp, rich flavors. I’m a tough grader but the score below doesn’t mean I wouldn’t get it again.
Score: 5/10
Glad you’ve stuck with me this far into the April Dirty Thirty project. Keep the tweets and comments up guys, you’re doing outstanding! Remember to use #AprilDirty30.
