ROAK Brewing Co. Flavorful Five Double N.E. Style India Pale Ale- 9.2% ABV 80 IBU

Purchased at Grapes & Hops III 

Appearance: Pours a delightfully Hazy orange with thin quickly dissipating white head

Aroma: fresh orange/citrus juice almost akin to ‘Sunny D’ juice, very juicy with a slight resin bitterness

Taste: juicy orange, grapefruit, mango, hints of vanilla cream, with a mild fresh grassy resin hop bitterness

Body: medium body, kind of velvety, mild to medium carbonation, mild bitter finish

Overall: I know, I know… another New England Style IPA. This one, however, is really good and worth a try, even for those who aren’t fans of traditional IPAs.
