Evolution Craft Brewing - Lot #3 IPA Review




Type: America India Pale Ale

Packaging: Growler from Brewery

ABV: 6.8%

IBU: 65

Color: Orange hued yellow body with a gorgeous fluffy white head that coats the surface of the beer after leveling out.

Aroma: Very strong and intense citrusy hop nose with a little maltiness and pininess to boot. The deep inhale is mesmerizing.

Taste: Over the top hop bitterness with citrus of orange and a little lemon showing dominance. The middle becomes sweet with a mild sour on the back of the tongue leaving you wanting more and more.

Overall: Just what I expected from Evolution...A full flavored brew that is both unique and recognizable in the category. Great hop presence, with moderate malt, all packaged in a light to medium body. Nearly everything I could want in a great IPA..."beef up the hops more and I'd almost be willing to give it a 10".

Score: 9.4/10
