Hales: Supergoose IPA

A good hoppy IPA from Hales. Nice floral notes, with a good hoppy finish. Deep orange color and a light body.

Alameda Yellow Wolf Imperial IPA

Rather subtle for an imperial, very balanced with body but not too much bite. This yellow-orange IPA packs a punch of potency, but is gentle on the palate. I prefer a more robust floral presence, but this is more like a winter warmer in IPA form. Not a bad piece of work from Alameda. Worth a try if you like strong beers but need the hops taken down just a notch.
