Potosi Brewing Company

 

16 oz can poured into an imperial pint glass; the beer is a dark bronze with a fluffy and sticky beige head. It is a looker.

Lots of citrus and herbal on the nose. There is also some pine notes.

This beer has a big malt backbone. It balances the hefty hops and leaves the beer almost sweet. Lots going on, there is citrus, pine, some bread/bagel, maybe a hint of brown sugar and some herbs to finish.

The mouth is slick and sticky with decent heft.

This is a nice twist on the style. Another nice beer from these folks.

My first Potosi brew pours a nice amber color with a pale head, great lacing. Aroma of citrus rind and some pine. F li savors are pretty close and finishes with a malty sweetness. Dan tasty brew.

 

Pours a clear, orange-copper. A bready maltiness with hints of citrus hops. Herb and pine hoppiness up front before a wave of citrus from the hops comes in strong. Also has a firm malty background that lends balance and spicy sweetness. Full-bodied with a smooth alcohol warmth throughout.

 

 

 

 

$2:00 / pint - on draught at Metro Market, Shorewood, WI. March Madness 2018.
Pours a hazy golden amber in a pint glass. Deep, sweet maltiness, with the lingering, biting bitterness that befits any good IPA.
This Double IPA is potent. 9 % ABV with lots of flavors. A must-have. At any price.

 

 

Poured 16oz can into snifter. Dark amber/copper colored with a 2 finger white head. Maintains a nice thin cap and there are swaths of lacing on my glass. Potent hop aroma dominated by big juicy citrus, grapefruit, and pine sap. The sweet malts come in with caramel and bread. Flavor is dank with grapefruit pith, pine sap and bit of earthy hops are mixed in as well. The balance of sweet malts keeps the bitter from over powering this beer. I get some caramel and honey soaked bread. Finish is all bitter. Medium body with some stickiness and abrasiveness. Carbonation is spot on for the style. Bitterness lingers for awhile. A nice dank, West Coast IIPA with a good malt backbone.

 

 

 

Aroma is a big citrus/fruit bomb and slightly perfumed. The flavor is citrus/fruit, malts, dry in the middle and a mix of bitter, tart a slightly sweet in the finish.
