President's Choice (PC) IPA

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

Thanks to Chopz for this one. Pours an insane amount of foamy beige head and has an amber appearance. Thick patchy, dirty lacing. Excessive carbonation. Aromas are somewhat woodsy, malty and earthy hops. Flavours seem a bit more malty than on the hop side. Some notes of resin and earthy type hops as well as toasty and bready malts. Mouthfeel is a bit smooth but much more watery and slick. Not bad and odd to see the PC brand associated with beer (not only a .5% beer from these guys).

Surprised to see a deeper golden-amber colour (expecting light gold). Good massive light-beige cap with pretty good retention, leaving some wavy creamy and foamy lace. The nose is no-way near an IPA nose though. More like an amber ale aromas of grain with the typical Brick's fake hops in the back. The taste has the caramel malt with some bitterness appearing in the middle, and mild burnt malt in the finish. With time, rusty water chemical hops show up. Taste better than it smells, and a little closer to an IPA than Keith's version, but still miles away from a real true one.
