St Arnold Endeavor IPA

St Arnold Endeavor IPA STYLE: American Double / Imperial IPA STATS: 8.9% ABV / 76 IBU The beer poured out of the bottle with a very hazy, light amber color. Almost orange. It has a light white head and an odor of pine & citrus. Slightly hoppy smell. The taste mirrors that but the hop is up front & center. It ends with a sort of grapefruit aftertaste. A medium bodied brew that has a fair amount of carbonation. Hop heads may require more hops out of this but I feel it's a good, "summer-y" IPA.

Left Coast Hop Juice

Left Coast Hop Juice STYLE: American Double / Imperial IPA STATS: 9.7% ABV Poured clear amber, big off white head. Nose. All I get there is hops. Not for the feint of heart. I repeat. Not for the feint of heart. Hop juice lives up to its name; it gives you a fair warning on the label. There are no words to begin to try and describe how hoppy this thing is. I wouldn't even do it justice to try. It's hoppy, it's in your face, and it knows what it is. Saying that. If you're a hophead like myself, it is drinkable, but not more that a bottle. This is a good relaxing beer. Once you past that big initial bite, it goes down smooth. Maybe a little too smooth, but you're always aware the hops are there.

Six Point Hi Res

Six Point Hi Res STYLE: American Double / Imperial IPA STATS: 11.1% ABV PENDING RATER: Che - RATE: X.X/5 Pours a clear amber color w/ a thin, white head. The aroma is largely tropical citrus w/ a hint of the alcohol coming through. When first tasting this, it didn't have a huge hop flavor that I was anticipating. It actually was very balanced on the tongue. Picking up grapefruit and malt, w/ very lil hops suprisingly. Even though I could smell it, the alcohol is well hidden in the taste. For having a double digit abv, this is very drinkable. Especially considering its an IPA & theyre not my favorite. A "must try" for you hop heads.

Blackstar Vulcan

Blackstar Vulcan STYLE: American IPA STATS: 6.5% ABV Had this out of a keg on-site at the Coop. It pours amber with a thin, white head. Smells of orange peel & rye. It has a very smoky, malt flavor. Very tasty beer w/ a medium amount of carbonation. It is slightly hoppy & you get a lil' bit of the alcohol but that dies down after a few sips. I'm more of a stout man as opposed to IPA but I had a couple of these while I was there. Very drinkable beer.

Odell Runoff Red IPA

Odell Runoff Red IPA STYLE: American Amber / Red Ale STATS: 6.5% ABV Pour - more of a rich mahogany, very clear. Light head. Nose - smelled some melon in there with some kind of citrus. Something like clementine or fruity hop flavors. A bit herbal, same with the after taste. Almost like a delicious fruit salad. I had some melon and a bit dry toward the end. Not too much. Tasted more like hoppy amber than an IPA. Great overall beer, excellent take on the "red IPA".

Odell Myrcenary Double IPA

Odell Myrcenary Double IPA STYLE: American Double / Imperial IPA STATS: 9.3% ABV This beer pours hazy golden orange, moderate fairly creamy head. Didn’t get a overwhelming feeling in terms of smell, a bit of citrus, orange rind, maybe some piney hops. Citrus, hops, some malty sweetness, some bitterness, but it doesn’t linger. One of the best Double IPAs I’ve had. RATER: Che - RATE: 4/5 This beer has a hazy, light copper color w/ a thick white head. It has a distinct, citrus smell that is slightly floral. The floral notes are also present in the taste. For being a double IPA, this beer is not as hoppy as one would expect. Its crisp, clear & smooth w/ only a hint of alcohol despite the higher ABV. Be careful with this one, it will sneak up on ya. I'm not an IPA guy so this is one of the best double IPAs I've had. True hop heads may not agree.

Deschutes Chainbreaker White IPA

Deschutes Chainbreaker White IPA STYLE: India Pale Ale STATS: 5.6% ABV / 50 IBUS Straw colored pour w/ a thin white head. Citrus aroma w/ a citrus taste as well. I like that it's not hoppy at all. Drinking it feels more like a wit as opposed to an IPA. Very summery & fresh w/ a medium amount of carbonation. Like this beer a lot & want to try it on tap next time.

Ballast Point Sculpin

Ballast Point Sculpin STYLE: American IPA STATS: 7% ABV Pours golden honey with great clarity and thick white head. Smells of citrus, pine, and floral hops. I’ve tried this one in many different serving styles: Bottle, tap, growler and the taste is consistent. A great IPA taste. Thick and rich without losing the fruitiness experienced in the aroma. It’s one of my favorite beers. I do have to knock it down a bit because it’s on the pricey side. It’s $16 for a six pack and I’ve seen the Bomber bottles anywhere from $9-$12 which makes it on the expensive end for beers in our local area.

Ballast Point Fathom IPL

Ballast Point Fathom IPL STYLE: American Double / Imperial Pilsner STATS: 6.8% ABV Straw colored pour w/ a foamy, white head. It has a strong, citrus aroma. Almost smells of grapefruit. It's carbonated w/ a slightly sweet flavor that balances out the IPA bitterness. The cirtus hops never let the taste fall into the "too hoppy" category (sorry hop heads). This is truly a unique blend of a lager & an IPA. Very interesting to try but won't be a staple in my fridge.

Abita Spring IPA

Abita Spring IPA STYLE: American IPA STATS: 6.2% ABV Poured from a growler with a golden-orange in color and a frothy white head. The head stayed throughout the duration of the beer. That’s about all the only good thing I have to say. The nose is pretty one dimensional, some sweetness there. Citrus smells along with hops. Nothing there in as far as taste. Very light and not very good in my opinion. It didn’t have a bad flavor, it just didn’t have much of a flavor at all.

Ballast Point Big Eye

Ballast Point Big Eye STYLE: India Pale Ale (IPA) STATS: 7% ABV / 71 IBU The pour is a clearer, dark amber with a light, white head. Hoppy smell. Very good IPA. Could be a good starter for an IPA hater. Excellent flavor.

512 Black IPA

512 Black IPA STYLE: American Black Ale STATS: 7% ABV / 70 IBU This is one of their seasonal beers. It is a black pour from my growler. Beautiful, thick brown liquid with a tan color head. I can detect a small amount of coffee aroma. The initial taste is a bit bitter, but nothing overwhelming. It has a great ipa aftertaste. There is a decent hint of coffee, nicely hoppy. Overall, a great dark hoppy beer. RATER: Che - RATE: 4.5/5 MEDIA FACEBOOK: 512 Brewing Page TWITTER: @512brewing WEB: 512 Website HOMETOWN: Austin, TX
