Thomas Creek Class Five IPA

Not sure why a South Carolina brewery would distribute to North Dakota--freshness is a big concern. While this IPA is plenty bitter, I'm not digging the hop choice. Either most of the hops have faded or the Fuggles are too dominant, resulting in an earthy, musty aroma and taste that I just don't care for that much.

A bright amber colored beer, with a small foamy white head that rises briefly above. It settles fairly quickly. Leaves a medium ringlet. The aromas and tastes are pretty straight forward. Nothing bold but still pretty good. Pine, grass and citric hops in a caramel sweet base. Moderate body and nice smoothness.

Bottled@Bishops Arms Vasagatan, Stockholm. Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is caramel and crystal malts meeting some pleasantly balanced fruity and floral hops and mild biscuity tones as well. Flavour is catpiss, some floral hops, mild biscuits as well as some sweet, but bready malts. Enjoyable IPA.

Pours out in a clear amber colour with a frothy white head. Resin, mild grapefruit, apricots and dried oranges in the aroma. Medium-bodied with notes of grass, orange-peels, apricots, resin and grains. Medium-bitter finish of orange-peels, resin and hay.

Not a bad little session IPA here.. Pretty decent for the money and very easy drinking.

Smells hoppy with some citrus and pine and some malt. Pours a clear amber with some good white head retention. Medium body with decent carbonation and a crisp finish. Good hop profile and some citrus. Some malt on the back but not too sweet. The only issue with the flavor is it finished way too bitter for me.. After awhile it was better. not too bad

Has a decent aroma that is hoppy and a little malty. It pours a pretty coppery-amber with an average off-white head. Flavor is somewhat hoppy with a fruity undertone, a tiny bit of bitterness and a touch of sweetness. Texture is tingly and lively and a little thick. Not too shabby.

A bold and audacious IPA as one would expect with a name like "Class Five". Pours a really nice clear amber with a nice head, superb lacing and a fantastic aroma of citrus and pine. Thanks bluesandbarbq!

courtesy of bluesandbarbq. pours dark orange with a thick foamy (everlasting) head. smell is mainly of pine and malt...not much floral or citrus in the nose. not a lot of complexity in the flavor. reminds me a little of a Rogue beer. Simple malts and bittering hop finish.

Mid amber body with an off white head that left heavy lace. Aroma lots of pine, and faint malt hints. Flavor was mostly bitter pine hops with the slightly sweet malts giving it balance. Overall a fairly good ipa, thanks Louis :)

Yes! Dank, piney and hopalicious. Beautiful body, semi hazey amber colour with a big white head. Hops, grapefruit and lime on the nose. Very floral all the way through. Flavours are delightfully hoppy, with soft citrus notes and a chewy finish. Awesome well balanced IPA, delightful in every way. Thanks Louis!
