So I ventured out and about this past weekend and went to the
Nook Tavern in Huntsville. This place is so awesome and probably has the best beer selection in North Alabama with over 300 beers to choose from. They just expanded their deck area and it was a great night to sit out on the deck for the first time and have some great beers.
This is my first time reviewing a beer while I was out so this one will be short and sweet.
Tallgrass Brewing Company, Kansas- IPA
Serving type: Can poured into a Pilsner glass by a very nice bartender. By the way the can thing really threw me for a loop. If you go to the
Tallgrass website they tell you all about the pros of cans versus bottles. I honestly couldn't tell the difference so of course on a pure packaging/marketing stand point I thought it was pretty cool!
Appearance: Amber/copper color. Clear with medium head and no sediment.
Smell: Nice citrus/hops smell with a little malt. Good aroma, ready to give this one a try.
Taste: Mild, crisp with good hop flavor but not overwhelming. Slight bitter aftertaste but not too bitter.
Mouthfeel: Good carbonation, medium to light body.
Overall: Very easy to drink and a pretty good IPA! The hops flavor isn't overwhelming so if your really into hops this might be too mild for you. I think this is a great intro beer for those wanting to venture into discovering IPA's. The can again I thought was really neat. Of course the packaging was my favorite {Love the ROLL TIDE elephant} but I purely chose this beer because I wanted to try something new, I had no idea what it looked like. Maybe I should stop judging books by there covers? Naaah.
I bought my Tallgrass IPA at
The Nook in Huntsville, AL. To find a Tallgrass IPA in your area, visit
