\nArcadia says:<\/p>\n

“Deep amber hue with a generous white head, Hopmouth showcases a rich, toasty flavor and a sweet caramel notes as a result of the high-quality Maris Otter Malt, imported from the UK. The hops are right up front in the aroma, reminiscent of citrus and pine, while the resin-like flavors linger well after the last sip.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Arcadia HopMouth Double IPA
\nDouble IPA, 8.1% ABV

Sayeth the Guys:<\/em><\/p>\n

Ryan:<\/strong> Have you ever poured a beer and thought, “huh, I didn’t think it would look like that?”\u00a0 Or took a sip and wondered aloud, “Is this what it’s supposed to taste like?”\u00a0 That was kind of my thought process as I sat down to review this offering from Arcadia in Battle Creek, Michigan.\u00a0 This beer was different.\u00a0 It was good – but it was still different.\u00a0 But not exactly in a bad way.\u00a0 Let me try to explain.<\/p>\n

This beer poured a rather dark, rich copper in color with a big ‘ol pillowy tan head that left all sorts of sticky goodness along the side of the glass.\u00a0 This beer poured much<\/em> darker than I expected it to.\u00a0 But, you can’t judge a beer on looks alone – so I took a little whiff.\u00a0 Ah, now we’re talking.\u00a0\u00a0 A big nose of pine and evergreen hits you right away.\u00a0 So this beer doesn’t look like I expected, but it smells spot on.\u00a0 How does it taste?<\/p>\n

Back to not like I expected it to.\u00a0 First and foremost you get a massive wave of caramel and toffee.\u00a0 The malts are a punch in the face after the nose had me expecting a a hop bomb.\u00a0 The hops are there, making an appearance in the back end with a nice balance of citrus and pine.\u00a0 It takes a few sips to get used to it the malt forward attitude of this beer, but once you do its a good drinker.<\/p>\n

At first I thought this beer had faded some and the malts had taken over.\u00a0 But I think this is what Arcadia intended.\u00a0 Like I said, this is a good beer, but I typically like the hop flavors to overshadow the malts in a double IPA – not the other way around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
