Gearhead IPA by Laurelwood

Gearhead IPA by Laurelwood

Postby Lambshot23 » June 18th, 2012, 5:58 pm

This was one of my letspour.com selections.

Poured very clean with a frothy head that as settled leaves lacey rings throughout. Overall has a deep caramel color.

This beer is your traditional American IPA that has more citrus hop notes than piney both in taste and smell. Lately I have been enjoying the ipa's with more citrus hops than the dank, pine hops, probably due to summer. Overall a very drinkable beer at 6.5% abv. I have had some bad luck with random ipa's lately but overall I like this and would buy again if available here.

I give it 4 out of 5 official Tailgate365 pint glasses.

Nice I will have to keep an eye out too. I am a big fan of the citrusy IPAs, but really dislike the overly bitter hoppy kind.

The IPA would taste better if it weren't in that damn Giants glass. :D

So I went to try and find a worse glass to drink out of but I couldn't find any Dallas Cowboy pint glasses. Then again who would actually want to find one. In an effort to keep your beer from turning bad in that NY glass though, I did find this for you though Lamb:

Pretty sweet.

I stopped buying pint glasses and have resorted to just pilfering them from local watering holes. I scored a killer sweet water 420 pint glass this weekend. Now that I think about it I have an entire row of pint glasses that I gifted myself. :smile:

I'm not even going to break mine out. In college we stole glasses every night so I've got a shit ton sitting around.
