Brew Dog – Hardcore IPA

Author: Escape To Beer | Filed under: Beer Reviews

 

Name: Hardcore IPA

Brewery: Brew Dog

Overall Rating: A

Style: Imperial India Pale Ale

Serving Style: 22 oz Bomber

ABV: 9 %

IBU: 150

Price: $ 5.95

Aroma: A light citrust smell with a hoppy after tone.  There are also some floral hints as well.

Appearance:  A beautiful amber color.  Some lacing around the walls of the glass.

Flavor:  I enjoyed the flavor of this IPA, a good bitter taste.  I like bold tasting beers and this one is bold.  Not a wimpy brew at all.  If you like your brews more on the mild side then you might not like this one.  For those that like to really taste their brews then give       this one a try.

Mouthfeel:  Good body and rich in form.  Light carbonation.

Enjoyability:   For a European IPA, it was very bitter but I am from the west coast, so I enjoyed this. 

Another take:            Brew Dog                                                                 Beer Rater
