It’s here again, Foothills
Brewing IPA of the Month. This is May (Bentley), 5.6% ABV and 65 IBUs
(international Bittering Units). Foothills are using Citra and Sorachi Ace hops
with grapefruit and clementine orange essence in this May IPA. Bentley pours a hazy
looking light yellow/orange color with a three and a half finger bright white
fluffy head that is slow to fade into nice whips of fine lacing. There is some
small amount of light coming through the glass and I found nice amounts of
carbonation bubbles. The aroma smells like fresh grapefruit with a little bit
of orange and faint tiny hints of lemon. This May IPA has a nice taste of hoppy
lemonade that has nice grapefruit put into it without a huge bitterness. There
also is a nice but faint taste of a light orange to it. It’s neither overly
hoppy nor bitter but it also isn’t the opposite of that either. The mouth feel
is light and refreshing with a little light hoppy bitter tingle on your tongue.
May finishes nice a citrusy with a faint bitter hop aftertaste with slight
grapefruit. This Foothills IPA of the Month May (Bentley) is good, but not as
good as last month (April). This one was more about one or two fruit flavors
and last April had more fruit flavors to it. So I give IPA of the Month May
(Bentley) an A. It was a good IPA. I recommend trying Foothills IPA of the
Month May (Bentley) or any/all in this series. I have never had a bad one in this series!
Cheers! Please enjoy responsibly!
