Rogue Portland State IPA

Somewhat oddly, a beer made in partnership with a university, this IPA is from Rogue Ales of Newport, Oregon.

The beer pours a somewhat hazy orange and amber in color.  There is an inch head of thick and creamy foam that is off-white in color.  The aroma is citrusy, orange, tangerine, grapefruit, and light tropical fruit.  The taste follows the aromas with lots of tangy citrus fruits, tropical fruit, and the astringency and taste of strong tea.  It is well carbonated with a crisp mouthfeel.  The finish is quite bitter and achingly dry.  This is a very nice IPA.
