Brew Review: High Water No Boundary IPA


Beer: High Water Brewing No Boundary IPA
Date: 9-13-12
Location: San Leandro, CA
Availability: Seasonal
Alcohol: 6.5%


Aroma: Citrus, pine, and Belgian smelling

Appearance: Hazy pale golden

Body & Texture: Blossoms in your mouth -- complex. No alcohol taste, good carbonation provided for awesome beer burps.

Aftertaste: Fades into a strong bitterness. The bitterness lasts awhile in the aftertaste.


 Overall Impression:
My dad bought this beer for David & I to try. I'm so thankful he did, because it's a winner! This beer feels pretty complex sitting in the mouth. Just by smelling the beer, David was able to point out the Belgian aspect of this beer. I really liked the aroma and how it felt sitting in my mouth. The color was lighter than what I'm used to for a regular IPA. I would definitely recommend this beer! About a week later, David and I were discussing this beer again, and I said that I actually liked it better than Stone's Cali-Belgique, David said he didn't. I think it would be fun to do a side by side tasting and really see which one I liked best. I think if you like Stone's Cali-Belgique then you'd really enjoy No Boundary as well. I hope you like hops because this one is full of them!

  3. This beer looks/sounds really cool. Don't fret. I've been google searching how to safely ship beer... hopefully with no explosions.

  5. Sometimes I am surprised when a light-looking beer has a good flavor. I guess you can't judge a beer from its color. ;-)
