The Brewery LBK LBK IPA

What the brewers say

“Classic West Coast–style IPA.”

What our panel thought

“Light bread-crust malt supports an aroma of tropical guava and mango, along with moderate overripe peach. The flavor also has a light bread-crust base with the overripe peach, but guava and papaya notes balance out nicely. Moderately bitter, but quite smooth into a very fruity, slightly sweet, and lingering long finish.”

What our editors thought

“Caramel corn and orange in the nose, big and beefy. The flavor blends toasted caramel orange citrus with a rigid bitterness that peeks above rather than tucking into the fruitier notes.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Unsung Brewing Company Let it In

“Loads of garlic, onion, and green pepper burst out of the aroma with some undertones of pine and light dankness. Citrus, melon, pine, and dank bring back San Diego memories. A brief, initial malty sweetness is quickly cut by the piney, citrus, and onion-like bitterness, which leads to a lightly bitter and mouth-coating finish.”

Liquid Mechanics Brewing Company Lucid AF

“Complex hop profile with hints of candied orange, peach, pine, and dark cherry dances on top of a light bready malt backbone. Medium crackery malt notes in the flavor are a bit more prominent and distract a bit from the citrus and light pine hops. A substantial, but smooth, bitterness grabs hold and doesn’t let go until well into the piney finish.”

Blackberry Farm Brewery BFB IPA

“Pine, candied orange, touch of lemon pith. Very light bready backbone supports perceived sweetness from the hops and the moderate dank and pine notes in the aroma. Flavor has a light toasted bread-crust base with a touch of honey. Smooth, moderate bittering lingers into a long clean finish.”
