Hop Way To The Danger Zone
Acoustic Ales Brewing Experiment

 

 

 

Shared a bottle of this last night, bottled in late January so it was still quite fresh.

L - A hazy bright orange, nice head of foam that persisted.
S - Nose was heavy citrus, pineapple almost, with hints of pine.
T- Similar to the nose, had a lot of interesting citrus flavor, subtle orange, grapefruit, a bit of malt.
F - Surprisingly creamy, almost to the point of feeling like a nitro beer. Very pleasant feel to accompany a higher ABV and suited the flavor profile well

Overall, this was a delicious brew that I'd definitely love to have again.

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty god damn bitter but damn good

 

These "triple IPAs" can be kind of interesting, and this one is not bad. Clear orangey amber with ample foam in the Affligem chalice. Spritzy mouthfeel.

Deep and dark hop blast. Hugely aromatic. Hot with alcohol, a little woody, and rather acidic. The bitterness is not overwhelming, and seems to balance the sweetness. Really big malt, but more of a light, alcoholic pale malt. Flowery and lots of mango flavor.

Surprisingly drinkable strong brew. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Barons Market on West Point Loma. They must have a dozen different Acoustic beers in bottles, if you haven't seen them around.

 

 

 

Served cold on tap in a snifter glass. Some pine and citrusy aromas. Clear copper to amber with minimal head. Tastes of fudge caramel, grapefruit, black pepper, toasted grains. Bitterness is well balanced, and is most pronounce at the end, where it lingers just long enough to outstay its welcome. High carbonation, medium to full bodied. Overall, a pleasantly drinkable experience that I would have again.
