The resinous dank pine kind of knocks you down. There’s a slight citrus odor and maybe some malts, but really not much else. This beer smells like a forest of pine trees. It’s juicy, sweet, and has just the right amount of bitterness. This massive flavor profile continues along the palate with notes of mango, passion fruit, tangerine, juicy grapefruit, toffee, and more dank, resinous, subtly bitter hops. I noticed hints of ripe pineapple, orange zest, lime peels, earthy resinous pine, and a sweet malty backbone. The palate is loaded with juicy pineapple, tart grapefruit, more berries, caramel malts, and a nice, gentle level of hop bitterness at the finish. On the nose, I find aromas of ripe berries, dank pine needles, toffee-like malts, and some floral hops. Now then, let’s get our highly-ranked drink on! Part 1: The Taste Taste 1 Christopher Osburn Today’s Lineup (which again, comes from BeerAdvocate): But while I’ll agree that basing a top 10 list on tens of thousands of palates is an interesting way to do things, I trust my evolved, professionally practiced palate more - so I decided to blindly taste all 10 myself and then re-rank them based on my own palate. One of the most popular beer-endemic sites is BeerAdvocate - where you can easily find a top ten user-ranked IPAs. While it might seem daunting trying to figure out the best IPAs on the market, there are plenty of people eager to help you wade through them all (like us!). That’s an awful lot of bitter brews to sort through! at last count, and there’s a solid chance that every one of them currently brews at least one IPA, if not several. There are more than 9,000 breweries in the U.S. If you’re a fan of this hoppy, sometimes overly dank beer, this is good news (if you’re not a fan, well… sorry). The IPA - and its various iterations - is one of the most popular styles in craft brewing.
