Widmer's Broken Halo IPA

Overall Opinion- Good, solid, beer. One that is best enjoyed on a nice hot Idaho day. As far as IPA's go its not a monster so don't expect a hop-zilla. This is the kind of beer I would use as an introduction into the world of IPA's.

14B. American IPA
Aroma- Citrusy, floral and little piney.Surprisingly low aroma from a west coast IPA. A bit of piney hop bitterness and a little pale malt and not much of either.

Appearance- Pours a crystaline yellow-gold beer with creamy, low, white head with little retention and a bit of lacing.

Flavor- More hop bitterness than the nose perceives. Lightly floral hops, a moderate, dry maltiness and a soft piney hop finish. Well balanced IPA with low malt charater but a nice moderate hop biterness. After taste lingured but was not to harsh.

Mouthfeel- A nice smooth carbonation and a moderate to light body.

Another Great Brew Day

I'm a little late in posting this but Idaho Brewing Association had a great brew day last Saturday. We had five guys brewing, five different beers, and lots of spectators. Thanks to all that came out, and a special thanks to the Snake River Club for showing up in force. It was a great day and we can't wait to try all of the beers at the next meeting.
