Singletrack Mind IPA by Allegheny City Brewing was judged as a New England IPA - BJCP category 21B - specialty IPA. The beer poured a rich orange gold with a huge white head that left lacing on the glass and was quite hazy. The aroma was a huge hop aroma up front of dank, citrus,(orange and lemon) and melon hop notes, followed by a light crackery malt background and clean alcohol that tied it all together. The flavor followed the aroma having huge citrus and melon flavors with just a touch of bready malt and clean alcohol. The finish was resiny yet with a touch of sweetness to keep it from being overly harsh, leaving just a touch of hop flavors lingering on the tongue. This was a lovely New England style IPA that is perfect while relaxing on the deck after a long afternoon of fall yardwork and watching the steaks grill.

Singletrack Mind IPA
Description
Very unique IPA. The base malt and flaked items were chosen to keep it light in color and taste. A Kveik strain from Inland Island allows for high flocculation. The Nelson hops, used in whirlpool and dry hop provide a noticeable wine, grape, and tropical aroma and taste.
