Lone Pint Brewery Yellow Rose American IPA at 6.8% ABV | 62 IBU (C$5.96 at Specs Main Houston, 500 ml, packaged on 30-Jan-2018, acquired 3-Mar-2018, reviewed 3-Mar-2018)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fingers of rocky white head, excellent retention and lacing. (5/5) Aroma: grapefruit, pineapple, pine, biscuity malt. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, slightly sticky off-dry lingering bitter finish. (4/5)
So, this has been touted as the best IPA from Texas. Yeah, all right then – I can buy that. Nice balance of bright happy aroma and bitterness on the tongue, supported by appropriate clean malt. (And there’s that magic 10:1 IBU:ABV ratio again. Well… almost.) (16/20)
