Bitter Woman India Pale Ale

Thanks go out to flyingbison.

More of a golden pour than an orange one, this beer gives a small, light and frothy head rather than one with any density. Some nice lacing.

Definitely a West Coast feel about this very bitter IPA. It’s in the American IPA tradition, with very strong accents on the metallic, grapefruit bitterness which is quite dry. Not a great deal of balance here which is fine as long as you are in the mood for a back of the tongue, bitter experience. This is not overly bitter but the lack of malt gives a singular experience. Mouthfeel is pretty thin too.

Dry and not much subtlety, the aftertaste remains very metallic. This is clearly a well crafted beer, but on a personal note this is a wee bit one dimensional for me. I very much enjoyed the one bottle I drank, but after it I was seeking something with more balance.
