Fruity, flavorful with zero bitterness. IPA perfection

Been two and a half years since I've had one of these. Time to give it another try.
Medium white head, very light yellow color with the smallest amount of haze. Aroma has very little fragrance, some corn malt. Flavor is underwhelming. Seems totally watered down. A little bit of corn malt, just a speck of sweetness, finish turns dry. Leaves a touch of sour on the back of the tongue.
Good People is a good Birmingham brewery. My first rating was sitting beside a swimming pool and I may have had a few previously. But that 3.8 rating was ludicrous. I could finish this beer but I'm not enjoying it. Think I'll just move on. I'm going to give it a 1.7 and I'm solid with that.

Going through my inventory of chalice glasses today.
Had this a year ago, gave it a bad rating. Maybe I was a little harsh. I'll give it another chance while watching Texas A&M playing Miami. For my son-in-law only, Go Aggies!
Color is an orange yellow and very hazy, no particulates. Most Oktoberfest aren't hazy so this is unique for me. Very faint Amber aroma. Flavor intensity is mild. Roasted malt, hints of caramel that gives it a touch of sweetness. A mild bitter tartness gives it a somewhat citrus characteristic. Finish adds biscuit while elevating the citrus bitterness.
Still don't particularly like this beer. I miss my Marzen flavor. But it's probably better than the 2.1 I gave it before.

Short but frothy thick totally white head. Light orange color with some haze. Flavor is unusual in that it has no Marzen, most American Octoberfests do. Not necessary just different. Flavor is mild in strength. Taste is faintly citrus, faintly earthy, throw in a touch of roasted malt, end it all with some hop bitterness, faintly of course. Never had anything quite like this. Dislike saying this because it's a good local brewery but, I don't like it. Still prefer my Octoberfest the American way with Marzen flavor.

Having a Good People stout on a very good Christmas day.
Starts with a very short head. Disappears in less than a minute. Very strong peanut butter aroma. A whiff of alcohol. Opaque brown color. Light texture. Intense peanut butter flavor with some chocolate in the background. Finish concludes with a roasted coffee, both dry and bitter. A moderate alcohol burn becomes evident.
Not as creamy or as sweet as I would have expected for a milk stout. Good but my expectations were higher.

Enjoying this brew in Birmingham at Good People Brewing Company. On tap only, not sold in cans.
Not much head since she poured it carefully down the side of the glass. Received it in a sniffer which helps with the aroma. Strong bourbon aroma which is surprising considering it is only 5.8%, seems stronger. Dark brown opaque color. Texture is solid but not heavy. Bourbon flavor brings mild alcohol to the forefront, followed by a rich charred oak. Finish is bitter but smooth, and the coffee now becomes predominant. Plus it lasts.
I enjoy a complex beer that switches flavors while you enjoy it and this does it extremely well. A good variant from their normal coffee oatmeal stout.

Spending a nice day at the pool. Mexican-style beer is perfect for the pool. Not much head, dissipates quickly. Medium yellow and color with just the smallest amount of haze. Nice light cervaza type flavor. Hardly any bitterness. Good pool beer.

IPA with a small disappearing head. Color is a deep yellow and slightly hazy. Citrusy aroma. Mouthfeel is light and crisp. Flavor is very citrusy with grapefruit and orange in the forefront. Moderately bitter finish that last a little while. Very good for a nadie. Better suited for hot summer days.

Tall, thick, medium dark tan head that is lasting. Opaque brown color. Rick coffee aroma. Taste is smooth, crisp coffee. Very dry, not creamy at all. Not sweet either. Finish is dry, a little bitter, and the bitter part lasts for awhile. Not a fancy brew. Feels like a basic recipe made with a quality coffee. I like dry stouts and this is a good one. Try this if you get a chance.
