Purchased at the Queenscliff Brewhouse in June 2024 and drunk a week later.
L: The beer is an apricot nectar orange with amber highlights in the glass, sitting beneath a thin, merengue-like yellowy-white head. Carbonation gallops up the glass.
S: Dank citrusy pine, dirt and earth, spice and weed. This hits all the retro 2010s IIPA vibes right between the eyes.
T: Big, booming, hoppy notes with darkness verging on menthol. The bitterness is rough and hewn from pine and candied grapefruit peel. The malt base is slathered with sweet, rich caramel and sticky toffee. Booze and heat sit comfortably in my gut and gullet. Like the nose, this one jumps in a time machine and rockets 15 years back to the good old days of crystal-malt-heavy, bitter IPAs. I love it!
M: The beer is thick in the mouth, with restrained carbonation and minimal bite, but the hops do the kicking in this one, and they let me know they're the boss in this relationship.
O: This is an excellent beer that's not shy about its heavy malts, and overbearing hop load, bitterness and booze. It's not something you could safely drink in quantity, as your palate would be wrecked halfway through the second, but it'd be worth the pain for the joy of the journey getting there!
Cheers!
