Hales Ales Brewery Supergoose IPA - Beer Review

Found: Yokes
Brewery: Hales Ales Brewery (Seattle, WA)
Beer Name: Supergoose IPA
Beer Style: IPA
ABV%: 7.1%
Price: $5.59 / 1 pint 6 oz


I've started to really enjoy IPAs and like many fledgling hop heads out there, I am starting to look for the harder hoppier stuff.  If you like bitter bite and the floral notes of an IPA I heartily recommend Supergoose.  Its so good, no wonder the mascot is wearing a cape!  It's even got CW falling head over heels for more hops....

 
 The pour shows a golden slightly hazy brew with about 1 finger of white head made of medium bubbles.  The fine lacing of this brew is everything a brew connoisseur should look for.  The aroma is intensely strong floral hoppiness, with notes of piny hops as well.  The flavor again is of strong floral hops that charge all the way through the body and to the finish.  There are hints of citrus and a medium bite of bitter in the end.  Overall a very smooth mouth feel, the hops don't leave you high and dry.  Today, I would rate this my favorite IPA!
