Phew! I have been a busy little beaver today, out running errands & attending the Lititz Cask Festival, but I need both a hophead & a CANQuest (tm) fix before embarking on NBS.
From the CAN: "This round of our double IPA was brewed and DDH with Idaho 7, Citra and Simcoe hops. That's all I want to say to you."; "Get Bitten (tm)".
What a joyous Crack! It was not only nice & loud, but I also got a spritz across my fingertips by virtue of it being a brimful craft CAN! I CANtinued with a slow, gentle C-Line Glug into the awaiting glass. This resulted in the formation of two-plus fingers of dense, foamy, rocky, bone-white head with very good retention, leaving loads of lacing in its wake as it fell. Color was Yellow-Gold (SRM = 4 - 5) with NE-quality clarity, enticing a visit from The Gelt Gang of Midas, Croesus & Mammon, all ClANmoring for a taste. Nose was VERY citrusy, mostly grapefruit, with that naughty kitty, Simcoe, doing her catty business in the corner! 8=O Mouthfeel was thick & full, as though a dollop had been scooped into my mouth & onto my tongue. The taste reminded me of a throwback/late-1990s AIPA with big pine & grapefruit flavors as well as wee Simcoe still doing her cattiness in the background. YUM! Oh, I have missed this sort of thing with the advent of Southern Hemisphere-hopped IPAs. I suddenly feel MUCH better about myself & my faith has been restored. Finish was dry, but not with too much of a bite. I am now going to watch "Kiss of the Spider Woman" while dedicating this review to my two favorite arachnologists - Aunt Kathy & Scott Larcher. YMMV.
