Left Hand Brewing India Pale Ale
What the brewers say
“Pale orange, light maltiness. Hops profile of orange, passion fruit, peach, and lemon.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Pine, honeydew, and resin. Light grapefruit.”
Flavor: “Resinous dank hops up front that lead into a low malty sweetness. Balanced decidedly toward sticky grapefruit-forward hops. Good amount of bittering hops bring the clean malt sweetness into balance.”
Overall: “This is a really good night-capper—strong, bitter, slightly dank, and heavy pine flavors to end the night with. A hophead’s delight in both flavor and bitterness. The dryness really amplifies the drinkability.”
