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.

RATER: Joey - RATE: 3/5

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.

RATER: Che - RATE: 3.75/5
