Oregon Trail Brewing, Corvallis, Oregon
22oz bottle, 6.3%abv
This is a "meh" IPA that still tastes good because it's only given to those folks that ran the Mac Forest 50k. Funny how limited access "improves" a thing.
Ignoring the "special" nature of the beer, here are the details:
Aroma is a bit stale, with oxidized notes. Hops and malt are there, but don't dominate.
Flavor is better, with a bit less oxidation and better malt and hops.
Finish is initially smooth and lightly sweet, but transitions to a solid, lingering bitterness.
Not horrible, not great, but I'm still going to enjoy it, 'cause only a couple hundred other people on the planet have access to this beer.
