Racer 5

STYLE: American IPA

ABV: 7%

SAMPLE DATE: Friday, February 29, 2008

SERVING TYPE: 22oz Bomber

RATING: 3.9

(look: 4 | nose: 3.5 | mouth: 4 | taste: 4 | drink: 4)

NOTES:

Hazy gold color, two finger off white head, some mild lacing.

Nose is hoppy and citrus. Typical Californian style IPA. Grassy, orange citrus. Tiny bit of bubblegum and brown sugar.

Full bodied, oily, medium carbonation. Creamy.

Hopped up. Grass, pine. Bit of bitterness in the lingering aftertaste.

More drinkable than a lot of over hopped west coast IPAs, but very very similar in character to a lot of the ones I've tried. Very good.
