Monday Night Blind Pirate Blood Orange

Monday Night Brewing, Atlanta, GA 7.4% ABV Hazy honey/caramel colored with the citrus fruit nose typical of a Double IPA.  We cannot detect much of a difference in taste from the normal Blind Pirate as this tastes like a normal Double IPA.  We were expecting an orange soda/Fanta taste, but we cannot taste much/any orange…

Georgetown Lucille IPA

Georgetown Brewing Company, Seattle, WA 7% ABV Hazy amber/gold in color with a strong citrusy Citra hop nose.  Straight up Citra IPA.  The malt could be a bit stronger to balance out the fruit.  7% seems a bit high for an IPA and it does not stand out against the din of fruity IPA’s. Would…

Rouge Brewing, Portland, OR 4.4% ABV Hazy amber in color with a wonderful hop and malty nose like a Double IPA.  Lots of bitterness and it goes all the way from start to finish.  No fruit.  Needs a tad bit more malt to carry all of the bitterness in our opinion, but the beer still…
