Nebraska Brewing Co. - IPA Review

Brewery: Nebraska Brewing Co.

Type: IPA(Firkin)

ABV: 6.5%

Sight: Beautiful amber brown that is clear and dark. Actually very surprised at the nice head I got from the firkin pour. Nice bubbly white topper that holds for a while.



Aroma: I get an actually more mellow citrus/floral nose than I was hoping for. A mild sweet of orange and a zest of lemon are the notes that break through subtly. Very inviting and non-obtrusive.


Taste: Malty and dry up front with a awesome zing of pine punching the back of the throat hard. It flows well from front to back where a tad of alcohol warmness come through.



Overall: Not too bad...more malt than i think a traditional IPA should be, and not as bitter as I'd like it, but the is dryness there definitely. Mouthfeel is medium, leaving a decent aftertaste of more malt that holds the tongue well.


Score: 8.4/10
