Foothills Hoppyum IPA

Foothills Brewing – Foothills Hoppyum IPA – 22 oz. bottle poured into a goblet. 6.2% abv.

Appearance:  Pours a clear amber gold with a thin film of white.

Aroma:  Faint herbal and citrus hop nose.

Taste:  Palmolive, orange, pine, finishes earthy.

Mouthfeel:  Full bodied peppery carbonation.

Overall:  This is the type of East Coast IPA I don’t care for. It’s soapy and malty, and I have had plenty others like this from this side of the country. Foothills makes some pretty amazing beers, but I probably won’t revisit this one unless someone tells me this wasn’t the experience I was supposed to have.
