The Story? So far I've tried Uinta's Dubhe Imperial Black IPA, Punk'n, and our feature today, Hop Notch IPA. I've had this one on several occasions, but regardless of which brew it's been, so far Uinta have been nothing but quality. Robust and full-flavored? Sure, but it's more than that. There's a high level consistency and quality threaded in each beer. Never an off or out-of-place flavor. Every detail seems to have been put there purposefully.
With the Monday holiday, my partner and I had a pretty eventful Sunday night planned. I found myself with a spare 45 minutes and decided to quench my craving and cool down with this solid IPA.
The Beer? Fluffy, ivory head with some staying power. Fresh hop citrus and mild tropical fruit notes are present. All the great makings of a quenching, robust IPA - great mouthfeel, perfect carbonation (not too prickly) and just a bit creamy. A little sticky and oily with a mildly bitter finish. The hops have a bit of chili hotness to them too.
Overall a versatile IPA. Drinkable enough for hot months, while still having enough weight behind it for winter. Very into what these folks are doing out there in Utah...
