Cherry amber with sticky sandstone foam; boiled spinach + dried autumn leaves that opens into musty cherries + lime oil; copper, stale bread crust, blood oranges, lots of pine, pomegranate and grass + menthol to end; medium, slight chew, + substantial bitterness.

Vic Secret, Enigma
That’s one hard-to-love nose and the challenges continue in the glass: who does 58 IBUs in a 5.8% beer these days, especially when it plays like 75? At a glance it seems like Southern Hemisphere hops should be blossoming into some tropical fruit, but VS is mint + resin while Enigma is red berries, so there’s nothing to tame this. Without any malty sweetness (tellingingly, there’s no crystal in the recipe; just Munich) it does actually line up as a Red IPA, but I never really believed that was a style anyway.
Screams for food, but hard work on its own.
