The Great Sweat
Bent Brewstillery

2018 notes:
Clear, bright golden, large and lasting ivory head, looking nice.

In the nose: Aburst with citrus and pine, big ol' grapefruit and lemon. Very vibrant.

In the mouth: Out-sized and aggressive hop bitterness pouncing the palate. Fairly juicy, slightly sweet. Then bitter dries it out. Light bodied, hop driven. Long, bittersweet finish. This tastes exactly like a good West Coast IPA should. Not the best, mind you, but a good one nonetheless. Cheers to that.

 

 

 

 

Beer pours a vibrant, hazy gold/yellow colour. Smells like fresh hops, citrus, lemon zest, hops, orange peel, pine resin, and hops. Tastes like it smells, very hoppy, a crisp bitterness, citrus, orange peel, lemon peel, pine resin, pine nibs, and relatively medium bodied and very refreshing.

This beer pours a pale orange with a medium sized head. The aroma is floral, with lavender and rose, as well as peach, cantaloupe, and orange peel. The flavor is very soft, with big juicy peach and nectarine, and tangerine, light mango, and big dose of flowers, mostly lavender and rose. The mouthfeel is moderate with assertive carbonation. Overall this is a decent beer, but definitely not the west coast promised. It is light and fruity, with very little bitterness. It is fine, but not particularly striking.

Pours a hzy lemon/gold color with a very nice fresh white head. Smell is tropical and citrus . Taste has nice citrus fuit hops mixing with some tropical fruits, a little melon and pear. Soft mouth feel with nice hop profile . This is a very good IPA and the best ive had from Bent.
