125. Highland Devil's Britches IPA


Ok, so I had enjoyed this one last weekend, I just haven't gotten around to make any reviews until now.  It's been a pretty hectic week.  Now that the weekend is once again upon us, I can catch up.  Believe it or not, I didn't do a lot of drinking this week, so there's not even a lot of beers that I have to review (aside from the backlog..it still exists).  

The beer was poured vigorously into a pilsner glass.  It has a very appealing deep amber color and I was able to get about three fingers of off-white head out of it as well.  Great lacing all over the exterior of the glass.  I could detect aromas of malt, floral hops, and citrus hops.

There some malt body to the taste.  Instead of citrus hops, I tasted more floral and piney hops.  It tastes a little sweeter than some of the IPAs I've had lately.  Light bitter aftertaste to finish it off.  I found the beer to be medium bodied with moderate carbonation.  It's a pretty good beer.  It doesn't taste like a true IPA, but I'm not sure if it's because I've had so many DIPAs that my palate is a little skewed.  I'd have to put this one between an APA and IPA.  Still, APA is your best gateway to IPAs.  I think it would do well as a session beer.  Think I'm dead on or out of my mind?  Let me know.

Grade: B
Price Paid: $2.00 (12 oz bottle)
