Beer Review: Fat Head's Head Hunter IPA

Serving Type: Draft

ABV: 7.5 percent

Appearance: Head Hunter doesn't look that different from the Caveman Keller Bier that I reviewed last week, in terms of color. It's an attractive shade of gold. The head is very thin and this beer doesn't appear to have much carbonation.

Smell: There is a lot of citrus in the aroma of this IPA. Orange, grapefruit and lemon flutter around in your nose. Behind the citrus is the scent of hops and pine.

Taste: The taste is what I'd expect from an IPA. I got hoppiness on the front and the citrus to balance it out on the back. I've never had an IPA that featured so much citrus flavor, which earns you bonus points from someone like me that loves citrus fruits.

Overall Rating:    

This beer was very tasty. As I keep saying, the Fat Head's house brews are some of the best local craft beers in all of Pittsburgh. Yesterday, Head Hunter IPA was named the winner of the National IPA Championships, beating other IPA's such as Saranac White IPA and Ithaca Flower Power IPA.
