More and more I drink IPAs
the more I like them as a style. I found another Foothills IPA of the Month.
This one is Foothills IPA of the Month August (Coral), 5.5% ABV and with IBU
(International Bittering Unit) of 90. The last for months in the serious have
been nothing less then great, so I’m thinking August might be just as good if
not better. August uses Bravo and Jarrylo hops. August pours a deep orange
color that is a little copper around the edges, and has a two and half finger
off white fluffy head that sticks around for a while before fading into thick
bubbly lacing. I found some sediment in the beer but not much, and there is not
very much light coming through. I did see a little school of carbonation
bubbles through the lacing. The aroma is much like a hand full of fresh hops and
with a little grapefruit. August has a nice taste of slight honeydew melon that
is covered with a faint piney and bigger grapefruit. But as the taste hits the
back of your tongue the honeydew become more predominant and the grapefruit
begins to fade slightly, as the bitterness shines though but just enough to let
you know they are there and that is a an IPA. The mouth feel is medium to almost full, and August
finish with a nice touch of a fruity citrus bitterness that leads into a nice
bitter grapefruit honeydew melon aftertaste with a tiny touch of a piney and some sort of a berry note.
Foothills Brewing IPA of the Month August gets an A. This is a solid beer that
keeps up with the previous months and doesn’t disappoint. But I don’t think
this is the best so far. That would be either May or July. I would have to
drink the side by side to choose the best. But August is good. I think is one
has the highest IBU so far, but I never really tasted 90 IBUs, it was masked by
the good flavors of this Foothills Brewing beer. I do recommend Foothills IPA of the Moth
August or any of the beers in this serious. So go out any this one or any of
them! Cheers! Please enjoy responsibly!
