XIPA
Two Goats Brewing

 

Pours a nice amber with an off white head.

Sticky resin pine fruitwood backed by floral and malt notes.

Subtle fruity pine with sticky resin and fruitwood floral finish. In the middle is sweet whole grain bread.

 

From a 16oz can received in a beer advent exchange. No canned on date or other info on the packaging. Served in a small stemmed tulip.

A west coast IPA, reminiscent of something that Stone would brew. Maybe a less bitter Ruination. 4.25

A - Pours a beautiful, almost crystal clear orangish amber with a one-finger white fluffy head that dissapates quickly to a thin layer. Good lacing. 4.25

S - Floral mixed with malty sweetness in the aroma. My first take was that I had a barleywine in my hand. 4.25

T - Herbal and piney hoppiness. Malty crackers are present but in the background. No sweetness to speak of anywhere in the taste profile. 4.25

MF - Medium bodied with a clean dry bitter finish. 4.25

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On tap at the brewery. Served in a traditional pint glass. Clear golden yellow, with little in the way of a head, some residual lacing creeps down the glass. Aromatically, dank, back of the Mystery Machine, ganja goodness. Some malty sweetness balances out the dankness, but the hops power through. Easy drinking with a medium body; the high abv makes it a bit dangerous.
