Smutty Nose IPA

The Beer Stats:
  • Beer Name: Smutty Nose IPA
  • Brewery: Smutty Nose (New Hampshire)
  • Style: IPA
  • ABV: 5%
  • IBU:28
  • Pour Color: Gold and very clear!




      This was a nice perfect two finger head pour beer. The head looked really nice. The scent off the glass was malty and hoppy at the same time. The color of the beer was gold murky and had the white floaties that some other IPAs sport. The cloudiness or white floaties usually indicate dry hopping. Having had a stone IPA with the same problem I don't judge on that. On taste you get a nice slightly sweet malt body as a background. Being an IPA you can imagine what comes straight out and hits ya. The hops are citrus and piney, Delicious and bold, these flavors meld well and make for a decent IPA.
      This is my first smutty nose, and much like most breweries, I started with a IPA. This one didn't disappoint either. A nice crisp hop flavor backed by stand up malts that have character their own. This one also is nice enough to tell you that there may be a slight sediment in the bottle. Most just leave you to figure it out on your own. Delicious and well bittered, try a smutty nose for yourself.
