Another month is here and so
is another Foothills IPA of the Month. Here is Foothills Brewing IPA of the
Month August (Spot), 5.8% ABV with 54
IBUs. August is melodically dry-hopped with Simcoe and Soirachi Ace hops.
August (Spot) pours a deep hazy orange color with a bit of cloudiness to it and
a four and half fluffy off white pillowy head that retains it’s fluffiness and
slowly fades into somewhat thick whiffs of lacing around the glass. No light
was found coming through, and there was a little amount of carbonation bubbles
there. This is all due to the hazy and somewhat murkiness of the beer. August
aroma is big with orange, light orange peel and some lemon with a little
bitterness around these other aromas. The taste is a big zesty and bitter
orange with nice lemony flavors along side them. There is a nice low bitterness
with a tiny earthy flavor that comes in and goes out just as quick. The flavor
on this months IPA are smoother and easier to drink. The mouth feel is medium
and has a nice citrus orange with some lemon in the finish that goes down
smoothly. The after taste is slightly bitter and orangey with a faint hip note
there. This is yet again a great IPA. I give Foothills IPA of the Month August
(Spot) an A+. As always Foothills IPA of the Month series is so great. I loved
how easy this IPA was to drink and that it wasn’t so hoppy and/or bitter. It
was a good amount of nice fruit with a nice hop bitterness to back for on tasty
IPA. This August is probably the best yet. I think that it’s the best tasting.
This is one you need to buy two of. I highly recommend pick this one up.
Cheers! Please enjoy responsibly!
