Cyber Cafe
Grimm Artisanal Ales

 

 

Grimm makes some of the best juice bombs for my personal taste, and thankfully they know how to make a West Coast IPA with equal dexterity: Cyber Café is an excellent example. Classic translucent amber pour, mixture of tropical and stone fruit in the nose with a subtle hint of pine lets you know this is a hop forward gem. Flavor is so close to the nose, just spot on, with just the right sprightly carbonation: Grimm has that down. Get some while you can.

 

 

 

Nice copper caramel color served at the brewery in a sort of Riesling wine glass. The head was large with enormous bubbles. Left nice lacing. Smells lovely this one with all those blend of amarillo ekuanot and Idaho 7 hops in perfect piney harmony. The taste is good but doesn’t quite live up to the nose. Plenty of hops here with a good bitterness. What’s missing maybe is some flavor complexity. Alcohol bite comes through in the aftertaste.
