Grand Teton Brewing Company Teton Range IPA

__Aroma:__ “Big pine and lemon aromas dominate. Some herbal and floral notes beneath with hints of orange, grapefruit, and some tropical fruit. Nice bready malt, verging on Pilsner malt.” __Flavor:__ “Orange and tangerine dominate the palate with notes of grapefruit, some lemon, and a little tropical fruit (mango and pineapple). The hops come through from the start to the finish of the sip. Nice balancing malt. Some nice bitterness in the finish helps cut the sweetness. Balance is pushing IIPA, but in a massively drinkable way.” __Overall:__ “Crazy drinkable with lots of hops complexity. Pushing the lower end of IIPA, but tasty with good hops character. The balance and malt bill highlight the fruit. The sweetness and bitterness are nice, with the bitterness lingering a bit into the finish.”

__Aroma:__ “Peach, lemon, tangerine, and piney up front. A bit of herbal, grassy, floral, and pineapple in the background. Toasty/bready malt is bigger than I’d expect.” __Flavor:__ “Simple malt bill with a touch of toasted character plays second fiddle to the light colored citrus hops (orange, grapefruit, lemon). Some earthy spice notes as well hit in the middle of the taste. Balance is great for the style, though a bit under-carbonated. Bitterness is present but not overwhelming.” __Overall:__ “Peach up front with a more classic West Coast IPA aroma in the background. Good balance of malt sweetness and assertive bitterness. Well-made beer.”

Aroma: “Rich bready malt sweetness, bordering on heavy with a note of caramel and some fruity esters. Hops are floral, grassy, and fairly subtle with a touch of citrus presenting on the retronasal.” Flavor: “Crisp and refreshing though light-bodied. The malt sweetness is delicate with bread-like sweetness. The hops give complexity of some spice and floral notes but not overpowering. A bit of bitterness, but balanced with the delicateness of this beer.” Overall: “The hops don’t add much in the way of complexity, but it’s a nice enough light beer—more of a cream ale than a Pilsner.”
